(TheRedAlertNews.com) – In a new sign that the Democrat Party might be getting desperate over its 2024 election prospects, Barack Obama is hitting the campaign trail hard, specifically backing Vice President Kamala Harris.
Former President Barack Obama actively campaigned in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Thursday night, backing Harris in one of the crucial swing states.
Determined to fortify a Democratic Senate and regain the House, Obama’s involvement signals he perceives this election as truly pivotal, MSNBC writes in a report.
With Kamala Harris now leading the Democrat ticket following Joe Biden’s withdrawal, Obama stakes his legacy on her success.
He has committed to geographical blitzes across seven swing states and plans to mobilize Black and young voters, groups crucial for Democratic victories.
Financially, through rigorous fundraising efforts, Obama has generated over $76 million for the campaign.
“President Obama believes the stakes of this election could not be more consequential and that is why he is doing everything he can to help elect Vice President Harris,” Obama’s senior advisor Eric Schultz said in a statement, cited by Barrons.
Obama’s portrayal of Harris during the Democrat Convention cast her focus on serving all Americans.
“Kamala Harris won’t be focused on her problems, she’ll be focused on yours,” he emphasized.
Trump, meanwhile, criticizes foreign companies, accusing them of economically “raping” the United States during his Detroit speech.
His tone resonates with those concerned about foreign economic encroachment.
In Nevada and Arizona, Harris counters by championing an “opportunity economy” meant to uplift all communities.
“What I want to hear from her tonight, or wherever she is, is what she’s been doing: It’s about an opportunity economy, one that works for everyone; it’s about expanding our middle class,” Democrat U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada told NBC News about Harris on Thursday.
Obama’s campaign crusade becomes integral as he rallies funds and morale, but it remains unknown whether it will translate into votes for the Democrats.
With stakes high and his reputation on the line, former President Obama’s efforts might prove desperate.
