According to officials, Obama will hold his first event in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania next Thursday and then across the Sunbelt states that will decide the 2024 election.
Obama hitting the campaign trail, after the rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC), will definitely boost the supporters in the swing states.
Ultimately, the 93 electoral votes in the seven swing states are going to decide who will end up to occupy the White House.
Obama had officially endorsed Kamala just days after President Joe Biden exited the race. Barack Obama along with his wife Michelle offered full support to Kamala against her opponent Republican Donald Trump.
During the DNC convention in Chicago in August, Obama said, "Kamala Harris won't be focused on her problems, she'll be focused on yours." “A president, 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,” he said.
He also said added that America does not need four more years of chaos. “We have seen that movie before and well all know that the sequel is usually worse. America is ready for a new chapter,” he said.
Harris’s campaign in Pennsylvania, one of the most contested battleground states, is of utmost significance. Since launching her presidential bid, Harris has visited Pennsylvania for about seven times.
Harris will also hold a rally in Flint, Michigan, where Trump has promised to make it a “car capital of the world again.”
Kamala and Obama's relationship goes back to the time when the former president was seeking a Senate seat in Illinois. Harris also campaigned for Obama during his 2008 presidential run.
Harris’s campaign team also includes several Obama campaign staff, including Mitch Stewart, Obama's deputy campaign manager in 2012.
