As he hit the stump in the must-win state of Pennsylvania, Obama also chided Black male voters for what he called hesitancy in supporting Democrat Harris because they 'just aren't feeling the idea of having a woman as president'.
PITTSBURGH - Former US President Barack Obama lashed out at"crazy" Donald Trump Thursday and urged voters to back Kamala Harris as he brought his star power to the 2024 election campaign trail for the first time.
America's first Black president admitted that"this election's going to be tight" as many voters were still struggling with high prices. Saying he had some"truths" that he wanted the Black community to hear, Obama said that"You're coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses, I've got a problem with that."
When a woman asked Harris at the town hall to name three of Trump's virtues, she replied:"I think Donald Trump loves his family, and I think that's very important.... But I don't really know him, to be honest with you. I don't have much more to offer you." Trump also ramped up his personal attacks on Harris, branding her"dumber than hell," and assailed the auto industry capital Detroit itself as run down as he was speaking to the city's economic club.Harris meanwhile said she had accepted an offer for a CNN town hall on 23 October in Pennsylvania, after Trump turned down a final televised debate with her.
