Former US President Barack Obama has heaped praise on his Democratic colleague, presidential candidate Kamala Harris. “Kamala Harris is up to the job,” he assured the party conference in Chicago. “Yes, she can!” he said, referring to his own campaign slogan “Yes, we can!”
This immediately provoked chants from the several thousand delegates in the room. Later his speech was again interrupted by shouts of “Yes, she can!”
“Someone who sees you and listens to you”
“We have an opportunity to elect someone who has spent his life giving people the same opportunities that America has given her. Someone who sees you and listens to you,” Obama said of Harris. “She will stand up for every American.”
“Trump won’t stop whining about his problems”
At the same time, Obama launched an attack on Republican candidate Donald Trump, a 78-year-old billionaire who hasn’t stopped complaining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. Obama was referring to the moment Trump first announced his presidential bid in 2015.
“We’ve seen this movie before, and we all know the next one is usually worse,” Obama said, referring to a possible second term for Trump.
“Let’s get to work”
“It’s going to be a tight race,” Obama warned, referring to the election campaign. But if the party functions like never before in the remaining 11 weeks until the election, Harris could become the next president of the United States. “Let’s get to work.”
Former First Lady Michelle Obama had previously said that hope was making a comeback. “There’s something magical and wonderful in the air,” she said, while also taking a sharp dig at Trump. “For years, Donald Trump has done everything he can to make people afraid of us because, in his narrow, narrow-minded worldview, he felt threatened by the existence of two hardworking, educated, successful people who also happened to be black,” she said, referring to the time her husband and the Obamas spent together in the White House.
Final my Harris Nest
Harris herself will deliver a major speech at the party convention on Friday night. The 59-year-old’s performance will be the grand finale to the four-day gathering, which is primarily intended to celebrate Harris and her vice presidential candidate, Tim Walz, and give the duo momentum for the rest of the election campaign.
