Former President Barack Obama is set to speak at a rally in Pittsburgh to rally voters in support of Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. The event aims to emphasize the experience and values of the Democratic leaders that make them uniquely qualified to lead the country.
Obama's speech is expected to focus on why he believes Harris and Walz are 'uniquely well-positioned' to serve as president and vice president at this critical moment in history. He will not hesitate to mention Donald Trump by name, outlining the potential consequences he sees if Trump is reelected.
This approach is consistent with Obama's previous speeches, such as his address at the 2024 Democratic National Convention, where he expressed confidence in Harris's readiness for the presidency, highlighting her background and qualifications.
The rally marks the beginning of a 27-day campaign push to mobilize voters in the final stretch of the election. Obama has been actively involved in fundraising efforts for President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris, underscoring the significance of the upcoming election.
A source close to Obama stated that he is fully aware of the tight race and is committed to leveraging his influence to support the Democratic candidates in the lead-up to the election.
