Barack Obama to hit campaign trail for Harris

October 4, 2024 / 5:01 AM EDT


Former President Barack Obama will soon begin campaigning for Vice President Kamala Harris. He is set to embark on a blitz across the battleground states, with several events in the last month before Election Day.

The former president will kick off his campaign efforts next Thursday, Oct. 10, in the Pittsburgh area. It's unclear if Harris will appear with him.

Obama has been a staunch supporter of Harris since she joined the top of the Democratic ticket, officially endorsing her just days after President Biden exited the race. Obama vowed to do anything he could to help Harris defeat former President Donald Trump.

"Kamala Harris won't be focused on her problems, she'll be focused on yours," Obama said in an address at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August. "A president, she won't just cater to her own supporters and punish those who refuse to kiss the ring or bend the knee. She'll work on behalf of every American. That's who Kamala is."

Barack and Michelle are excellent campaigners. There are a lot of good people like them that are definitely part of the all hands on deck group. As Bruce Springsteen just said, this is a five alarm fire and everybody of good heart and intentions needs to join in to help us defeat this deplorable Person.
