Harris wants to campaign with Obama

The campaign did not immediately provide further details, including the cities where the events took place.

It’s the first time that Michelle Obama – who addressed the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this summer – has campaigned for Harris. And it will be the first time either of the Obamas has campaigned directly alongside Harris ahead of the Nov. 5 election.

Barack Obama returned to the campaign trail last week with a one-on-one campaign rally in Pittsburgh for Harris. The former president repeatedly criticized Trump in his speech, saying there was “no evidence that this man thinks about anyone but himself.”

And in earlier remarks at a Harris campaign office, Obama admonished black men for being reluctant to support Harris, suggesting that some are not behind her candidacy because she is a woman. He urged them to get off the sidelines and support Harris.
