Former President Obama holds first in-person campaign event for Joe Biden

Former President Barack Obama hit the campaign trail Wednesday, holding his first in-person event for Joe Biden in Philadelphia. Biden is hoping to flip Pennsylvania back to blue after President Trump won it in 2016. Ravi Gupta, a former member of the Obama administration and campaign team, joined CBSN's "Red & Blue" to discuss the state of the Biden campaign and Democratic Party.

Obamacare doubled healthcare premiums. Millions lost their plan.

There used to be a time in this country when a FORMER president didn't speak up about anything election-wise, let alone go out and campaign for TWO election cycles.

Respectfully, former VP Joe Biden, if you:
- tire after speaking for 10 minutes, how will you be able to handle Presidential responsibilities ?
- if you need to 'call a lid' for 4 days to prepare for a single debate, how will you handle Presidential responsibilities ?
