Barack Obama, in his first appearance on the 2020 virtual campaign trail with Joe Biden, promised that “help was on the way — if we do the work,” before tearing into President Trump’s “shambolic” approach to government.
The former president said that “help is on the way — if we do the work,” adding, “There's nobody that I trust more to heal this country and get it back on track than my dear friend Joe Biden.”
But, Obama warned, Democratic voters must not take the race for granted just because Biden is currently"We can't be complacent or smug or sense that somehow it's so obvious that this president hasn't done a good job because, look, he won once," Obama said.The event, however, ended with a tender moment between the two men, with Obama saying,"Love you, Joe."The event marked Obama’s first appearance of the 2020 campaign with Biden on the virtual trail.
The Trump campaign seized on the amount of cashed raised shared by Biden, releasing a statement during the event that noted that it had raised $10 million"over the weekend of" Trump's— a total"far more than" the Biden-Obama event. Trump himself, also addressed Obama's joining Biden on the trail, telling reporters at a campaign event in Arizona that to point out the former president's campaigning efforts for Hillary Clinton in 2016 did not result in a win for the Democratic ticket.
"Don’t forget I am only here because of him and Biden," Trump said."I’m only here because of them, because if they did a good job we wouldn’t have been here, there would have been no reason."'
