According to the Washington Post (WP) on the 18th (local time), former President Obama focused on highlighting former President Trump's advanced age during a campaign rally held in Tucson, Arizona, a battleground state.
Former President Obama used as a point of attack an 'unexpected incident' where former President Trump suddenly did not take questions and instead rhythmically moved to music for 30 minutes at an event held recently in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Addressing the audience, former President Obama said, "How worried would you be if your grandfather acted like that?" and added, "We do not want to see an older, crazier Trump acting without safeguards."
He also criticized former President Trump for selling 'Trump Bibles' to his supporters, saying, "But those Bibles are printed in China," and added, "He boasts about being tough on China while pocketing petty cash from Chinese-made Bibles."
About 7,000 people gathered at former President Obama's campaign rally that day.
Former President Obama, regarded as the most influential figure within the Democratic Party, has rolled up his sleeves to support Vice President Harris's election.
Starting with this rally, he plans to tour five battleground states over six days to appeal for support for Vice President Harris. His campaign support will continue until the presidential election on the 5th of next month.
