Former US President Barack Obama gives a speech to support Democrat Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia gubernatorial election. He also makes a reference to Trump.
Former US President Barack Obama sees the United States and the world at a “turning point”.
On the one hand, there is a current with a “policy of meanness and division and conflict,” said the Democrat on Saturday in Richmond during an election campaign before the gubernatorial election in the US state of Virginia.
“But the good news is that there is another way we can pull together and solve big problems.” This is a decision “which I believe will determine not only the next few years but also the next decades of human history”.
Obama said it was about determining what kind of democracy the next generation would inherit. He warned against a “return to the chaos that has caused so much damage.” The ex-president is likely to allude to the term of office of his successor Donald Trump, who ruled the White House from 2017 to January this year.
In Virginia, Obama’s fellow party member Terry McAuliffe and Trump-backed Republican Glenn Youngkin are running for governor. The election is on November 2nd. It is considered an early mood test for the nationwide congressional elections well in a year.
Polls predict a head-to-head race. US President Joe Biden and other prominent Democrats are also supporting McAuliffe in the election campaign in the state of Virginia bordering the capital Washington.
