For a second straight day, former President Donald Trump campaigned in North Carolina after courting Latino voters at an event in Florida. Former President Barack Obama campaigned with Gov. Tim Walz in Wisconsin. NBC News' Garrett Haake reports.
Former President Barack Obama made a direct plea for young men not to get frustrated at the slow pace of political progress as he made the case to support Vice President Kamala Harris for president during the inaugural episode of a new podcast hosted by NBA players. “A lot of young people — a lot of young men — they get frustrated and they say, ‘Well, nothing’s happened,’” Obama told 24-year-old NBA All-Star Tyrese Halliburton and producer Tommy Alter in a clip first shared with NBC News.
“I don’t think it’s any secret that I think Donald Trump is not somebody who is going to work hard on behalf of ordinary people,” Obama said. “I think his agenda is basically about himself. His status is ego and self promotion.” Obama’s appeals come as Harris has ramped up efforts to earn the support of Black and Latino men, releasing demographic-specific policy proposals in recent weeks.
