Obama confronts men for finding ‘all kinds of excuses’ to avoid voting for a female president

LA Times  

Former President Obama speaks during a campaign event for Kamala Harris in Pittsburgh on Thursday. Former President Obama joined the campaign trail for the final stretch Thursday with some “truths” for men, especially Black men, who he said were not delivering the enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris that they did when he was running for president. He told a group of campaign volunteers in Pittsburgh they have “a choice that is clear” between someone who “grew up like you, knows you,” understands the same struggles and triumphs and has concrete proposals to make life better, and “someone who has consistently shown disregard, not just for the communities, but for you as a person.” Obama said he had a problem with men who are “coming up with all kinds of excuses” to sit out the election or vote for former President Trump. “Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s elected president,” Trump said at the Detroit Economic Club, speaking of Harris. “It is about values and it is about character.” Obama touted Harris’ stances on abortion, the Affordable Care Act and economic programs designed to help low-income people buy homes.
