Obamas Endorse Kamala Harris at Democratic Convention, Slam Trump

Former US president Barack Obama and his wife former first lady Michelle Obama urging Americans to back Kamala Harris in her presidential bid against Republican candidate Donald Trump at a Democratic National Convention.

Speaking after his wife Michelle Obama on Tuesday (local time), the former US president said, “Kamala Harris is ready for the job.”

Obama took a swipe at Donald Trump and said that the US didn’t “need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos.”

“Here’s a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped talking about his problems since he rode down on his golden escalator nine years ago”,  Obama quipped regarding Trump.

“We have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse,” Obama said adding that “America is ready for a new chapter. America is ready for a better story. We are ready for a President Kamala Harris.”

In his speech, Obama also praised Joe Biden and said that choosing the latter his as his vice president in 2008 was one of the best “big” decisions he made during his candidacy.

Michelle Obama also spoke hard against Donald Trump and said, “only Kamala Harris truly understands the unseen labour and unwavering commitment that has always made America great.”

“For years, Donald Trump did everything in his power to try to make people fear us,” Michelle said. “By the way — Who’s going to tell him that the job he’s currently seeking might just be one of those “Black jobs?’” she said to audience applause.
