Obama returned to the national stage to boost his longtime Democratic ally Kamala Harris
Former US President Barack Obama returned to the national stage on Tuesday night to boost his longtime Democratic ally Kamala Harris in her 11th-hour presidential bid against Republican Donald Trump.
“His limited and narrow view of the world made him feel threatened by the existence of two hardworking, highly educated, successful people who also happened to be Black,” she said to deafening applause. Harris and her vice presidential pick, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, took to the Milwaukee stage in the same venue as last month’s Republican National Convention, where Trump formally received his party’s nod.
The roll call at the DNC turned out to be a surprise star-studded event – rapper Lil Jon performed his hit “Turn Down For What” alongside the Georgia delegation, film director Spike Lee appeared with New York’s delegation and actor Sean Astin of “Rudy” fame spoke for Indiana.
“I have an urgent message for the majority of Americans who, like me, are in the political middle,” he said. “John McCain’s Republican Party is gone, and we don’t owe a damn thing to what’s been left behind.” US Senator Bernie Sanders was an exception, telling the audience, “We must end this horrific war in Gaza, bring home the hostages and demand an immediate ceasefire.”
