Former President Barack Obama harshly criticized his successor, Donald Trump, during an energetic speech. He stated that he expected nothing from Trump, highlighting his lack of understanding of policies, inability to argue coherently, and lack of honesty, decency, and morality. Obama warned citizens not to trust people like Trump, whom he considers detached from the needs of the people.
Obama praised Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, expressing his hope that she is intelligent, articulate, and has a clear set of policies, highlighting the differences in standards between her and Trump. However, his criticisms were mainly directed at the Republican president, with no kind words for him.
On the other hand, former First Lady Michelle Obama urged men to take women's lives seriously when deciding their vote in the November elections. At an event in Michigan, before Kamala Harris's speech, Michelle Obama criticized the Trump administration's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, pointing out that the country suffered high death tolls due to a poor response to the crisis, contrasting with the guidelines left by her husband, Barack Obama, in case of a pandemic.
The event took place in a key state to reinforce support for Democratic voters, as Harris's running mate, Tim Walz, was carrying out an intense schedule of events in New Mexico, Arizona, and Nevada. The Obamas' call to action and their strong criticisms against Trump marked an important moment in the election campaign.
