Optimistic about the success of US Vice President Kamala Harris in the swing state of Arizona, Barack Obama has once again endorsed the Democratic candidate, while grilling Donald Trump for not having enough stamina to take over as president.
In the city of Tucson, Obama and Harris launched a new golden blow at Trump, 78, questioning his ability to serve a second term.
“In addition to his intentions, there is also the question of his competence. Have you seen him lately?” Obama asked. “I mean, he's out there, he's giving two two-and-a-half-hour speeches, just word salads. You have no idea what he's talking about.”
“Tucson, we don't need to see what an older, crazier Donald Trump looks like without guardrails,” Obama said.
Democrats were quick to use age as an attack on Trump, now the oldest presidential candidate in American history, which not long ago was a concern but recently became important enough to make Joe Biden, 81 years old, will withdraw from his electoral candidacy.
Trump's age factor has attracted attention due to several events in which he appeared unsure of himself and several media cancellations, which Democrats highlight as proof of the Republican candidate's physical exhaustion from the campaign.
“Tucson, we don't need to see what an older, crazier Donald Trump looks like without guardrails,” Obama said.
“If you can't withstand the rigors of the election campaign, are you qualified to do the job?” Harris said at a rally in Michigan, a must-win state, on Friday.
Harris and associates like Obama and his wife Michelle hope to mobilize voter support in must-win states that are crucial to deciding the US presidential election.
Arizona, where Obama gave a speech on Friday, is one of those swing states, and polling averages show Trump with a slight lead of about two points.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, where Harris spoke the same day, the Democratic vice president leads by less than a point.
Democrats have portrayed Trump as a dangerous and undemocratic figure, claiming that his efforts are making up for his loss in the 2020 election, in which he was defeated, and claiming that the election was also not rigged against him.
