Obama on stage for Harris – slammed Trump

Donald Trump's behavior in trying to push political opponents is not a sign of strength. It was one of the messages from Barack Obama, who on Thursday night seriously launched his campaign for Kamala Harris.

The ex-president mentioned that he had received reports that some black men were considering not voting in the upcoming presidential election.

Are you thinking of abstaining or casting your vote for someone who has acted degradingly towards you, because you perceive it as a sign of strength, that this is what a real man does? To suppress women? It's unacceptable, said Obama from the stage in Pittsburgh in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania.

Then followed more direct attacks on Trump, where Obama targeted the Republican presidential candidate's sale of items, such as a "God bless the USA" Bible for approximately 600 kronor.

He wants you to buy "God's word: the Donald Trump version". He managed to get his name in there between Matthew and Luke. Something like that you wouldn't even be able to make up.

Barack Obama won Pennsylvania both in 2008 and 2012, while Trump took the state in 2016. In the last election, the state became Democratic again when Joe Biden won with a narrow margin. This time too, the battle for Pennsylvania appears to be tough.
