Obama to blitz campaign trail for Harris

WASHINGTON: Former US president Barack Obama will stump for Kamala Harris in key swing states, adding his star power to the Democrat’s White House bid in the final month before election day, her campaign said Friday (Oct 4).
Obama, America’s first Black president, will make his first appearance next Thursday in the industrial city of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most critical state in Harris’s battle with Republican Donald Trump.
The 63-year-old remains an influential voice among Democrats, and he and former first lady Michelle Obama delivered rapturously received speeches backing Harris at the party’s national convention in August.
