Former President Barack Obama is set to deliver a highly anticipated address tonight, twenty years after his keynote speech at the Democratic convention in Boston that marked the beginning of his political rise. This time, Obama views his speech as crucial for the country's future, expressing his belief that Kamala Harris has the potential to win the upcoming election.
Despite acknowledging the possibility of a victory for Donald Trump, Obama's focus remains on endorsing Harris as a strong candidate. His concerns about Trump's sustained popularity led to his involvement in President Joe Biden's decision to support Harris's candidacy.
During his address, Obama is expected to commend Biden while dedicating a significant portion of his speech to praising Harris. He will highlight their longstanding friendship of two decades and urge Democrats and independent voters to unite in their support for Harris.
