WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama delivered a fierce campaign speech in Philadelphia on Wednesday night, urging Democratic nominee Joe Biden and his running mate Sen. The first complete development for Kamala Harris was a drive-in rally program.
“I ask you to remember what this country can be. What it is like when we treat each other with respect and dignity. What it is like when our elected officials act really responsibly,” Obama said in a powerful 30-minute speech. Lincoln said during the financial sector.
He said, “I am asking you to believe in the ability of the dark and Kamala’s ability to lead this country from this imaginary time and help us to build it better.”
President Donald Trump made the earliest reports on recent reports that the president has a previously unused bank account in China, at the beginning of his speech, Obama did not pull his punches.
“We know he’s doing business with China, because he’s got a secret Chinese bank account! How is that possible?” Obama said incredibly. “Can you imagine I had a secret Chinese bank account when I was writing the re-election?”
Despite the evidence of any financial ties, the sentence was particularly relevant given Biden’s months-long efforts at the Trump campaign to show excessive sympathy for China and his recent attempt to finance Biden with Chinese companies.
Trump has also blamed Beijing for the coronavirus epidemic that killed 220,000 Americans this year. However, Obama placed the greatest responsibility in the developed world on Trump’s shoulders for America’s outstated infections and mortality.
“Presidents for the election usually ask if the country is better than it was four years ago. I’ll tell you one thing. Four years ago, instead of watching this speech from your car here, you’d sit in Lincoln Field,” Obama said, referring to the drive-in rally. , Which has become a feature of the Biden campaign during the epidemic.
Trump, meanwhile, has continued to organize large, open-air campaign rallies packing thousands of people into nearby residences with a few masks or safety precautions. Below is a photo of Trump’s October 12 campaign rally in Sanford, Florida.

“Billionaires are really better people than they were just four years ago [Trump’s] Tax-cut, “Obama said before launching a broadside against the president over reports that Trump has been paying $ 750 a year in personal income tax for years.
The former president defended Trump’s character, and his most infamous attacks for Trump’s standard-breaking leadership style.
If Biden and Harris are elected, Obama said, “we don’t have to choose a president who doesn’t support them or insults anyone who threatens to jail.”
“It’s not the behavior of a normal president. We won’t tolerate it from a high school principal. We won’t tolerate it from any coaches or co-workers … Why do people make excuses for it, ‘Well, that’s just it.’ No, these are the consequences of actions, ”he said.
Obama was sometimes seen enjoying himself on stage before returning to his classic campaign speech.
“Our democracy will not work if people mean to be our leaders and lie to us every day,” he said. “Because of this truth, and the notions of democracy and citizenship and being responsible, it’s not Republican or democratic principles … it’s American values, human values. And we need to reclaim them.”
Earlier in the day, ahead of Obama’s rally, the Trump campaign released a statement condemning Obama and Biden. The campaign said, “J Biden is not explicitly for the rigors of the campaign for president, so he calls Barack Obama a reinforcement.”
Biden spent Thursday night preparing for a second and final discussion with Trump.
Obama’s second part of the comment was dedicated to turning Democrats around and giving them railings to vote. “We just can’t imagine a better future. We have to fight for it. We have to laugh on the other side. We have to work on the other side. We will never vote like before.”
The President closed the speech with a throwback to his own two historic, and successful, presidential campaigns.
“Why did you get fired? Are you ready to go? Why did you get fired? Are you ready to go?” The crowd cheered and honored hundreds of cars at once. “Come on, it’s done!” He said.

Obama has given only a few campaign-style speeches so far this year, which he is wary of drawing attention from Biden, but is also keen to destroy his powerful political brand by making himself too thin.
With just 13 days to go before election day, the Biden campaign has hinted that Obama will hold more rallies like Wednesday night, before the campaign ends.
Obama’s argument against voter indifference is one of the first, especially this late summer’s civil rights leader rap. At the funeral of John Lewis.
But delivered Wednesday in Philadelphia, Obama’s words served as a perfect reminder of the Democratic Party’s most significant strategic failures in 2016: its inability to address voter shortages in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which ultimately helped Trump deliver the state’s 20 electoral votes.
Trump won Keystone State in 2016 with less than 45,000 votes or less than three percent to more than one percent. Post-election analysis showed a significant drop in turnout among black voters in and around Philadelphia, compared to the 2012 and 2008 elections, which Obama won.
Obama said Biden jumped from 2 points to 10 points in Pedaslavnia in some new polls on Wednesday, which Biden and Trump campaigns should win.
Pennsylvania is home to a variety of voters, and Democratic candidates generally expect to do poorly in the state’s rural west, where voters primarily support Republicans for Congress and the president.
By 2016, Democratic presidential candidates had been able to win Pennsylvania for two decades, due to the number of Democratic voters in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, surpassing the total number of Republicans in other parts of the state.
