Ocean (special article from Xinhua News Agency)
For the first time on the 21st, former US President Barack Obama was assisted during eight years of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s offline campaign, the location was selected in the choice of Pennsylvania’s important “battlefield” .
In his speech, Obama harshly criticized the Republican presidential candidate and current President Donald Trump for ineffectively fighting the new crown epidemic, creating divisions and “unworthy of virtue.” He also asked voters to vote enthusiastically: “We cannot live like this for another four years.”
Bombarding the current president
The “no get off” campaign rally was held in a park parking lot in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, and brought together nearly 280 cars. Reuters reported that this was the largest rally organized by Biden’s campaign team since the outbreak.
The Associated Press reported that Obama spoke for about 35 minutes and spent most of his time berating Trump for only caring about his own interests.
As president of the United States for two terms, Obama remains one of the most popular figures in the Democratic Party. He criticized the Trump administration’s response to the epidemic, mentioning that the latter was diagnosed with the new corona virus. “Donald Trump won’t suddenly want to protect us all. He can’t even take the basic steps to protect ourselves.”
From the Democrats’ perspective, Trump has spent the past four years erasing Obama’s political legacy. Obama said in response that he never thought Trump would accept his ideas and pursue his policies, but out of national considerations, he hoped Trump would “show some interest in taking the job seriously.” Yet Trump “just wants to be fully recognized for the economy (prosperity) that he ‘inherits,’ and he doesn’t want to be blamed for the epidemic that he has ignored.”
Obama also criticized Trump and other Republicans for only wanting to “blatantly” repeal the Affordable Care Act that was introduced during his term, but there is no alternative. Also, Trump is used to insulting “people who don’t support him”, “Why should we tolerate the president of the United States doing this? … This will cause some people to act recklessly and become cruel, divisive and with racial prejudices. “
Not just Obama, the Atlantic Monthly reported on the 19th that George W. Bush, as the only living former Republican president of the United States, while generally staying away from politics, in May of this year called on the people to unite in response to the epidemic: “We are not partisan fighters. It’s the people.” In June, he spoke out on protests against racism, saying that “empathy, common goals, bold actions and peace derived from justice” is a better way to achieve justice. He believes that the American people will choose a better one. method.
Calling African Americans to Vote
Obama also called on voters, especially African American and “progressive” voters, to vote enthusiastically that day. According to Agence France-Presse, a large number of African American voters voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012, but their turnout rate declined in 2016, which to some extent “helped” Trump defeat his opponent Hillary Clinton.
Obama said: “I don’t care what the polls are like. There were a lot of polls last time, but the results were inaccurate because a lot of people stayed home and were lazy and self-righteous. This time it can’t be like that.” He said he understood the political attitudes of young voters. Suspicious or indifferent, he confessed that “he did not fully understand when he was 20 years old”, but if everyone did not vote, they would lose power for nothing, because political circles would only respond to those who voted for them.
The Associated Press reported that on the eve of Election Day four years ago, Obama was in Philadelphia for Hillary’s latest platform campaign, but Hillary lost to Trump in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin at a slight disadvantage, becoming the victory. from the last batch. Key factors.
This year, Obama is still considered the “greatest campaign asset” of the Democratic Party. He has appeared at Biden’s online fundraising meetings many times before and has authorized text messages and mass emails on his own behalf to encourage voters to vote and donate.
Biden did not go to Philadelphia on the 21st, but stayed at his home in Delaware, preparing for the last face-to-face debate with Trump a day later, prompting Trump to mock him for “hiding in hiding.”
