The former US president will campaign for Kamala Harris, starting in the crucial battleground state Pennsylvania that could decide the election

Former president Barack Obama will crisscross the battleground states for Kamala Harris, with a kickoff in all-important Pennsylvania next week, according to a senior Harris campaign official.

Obama will hold his first event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania next Thursday, the beginning of a blitz across the handful of rust belt and sun belt states that will probably decide the 2024 election.

Obama remains one of the Democrats most powerful surrogates, second perhaps only to his wife, Michelle Obama. His return to the campaign trail follows a rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention in August, in which he cast Harris as a forward-looking figure and a natural heir to his diverse, youth-powered political coalition.

Probably will have a high impact on young voters. Anyone 25 and under will remember Obama as the last adult in the room before… this situation.

That actually means both Obamas, followed by the Clinton's, and I bet Biden will be in for a last hoorah. 31 days left. Who you got Donald? That's right, Kid Rock.

Ahh good, hopefully Hillary can get everyone to Pokemon Go to the polls.

I'm not sure Clinton helps at this point.

I'm not sure Biden helps at this point.

Wish it wasn't so but it's so.

He's got the entirety of Fox News and Elon Musk. They've been poisoning the voter base for months.
