On the 16th anniversary of his 2008 campaign, former President Barack Obama returned to the stage in Pennsylvania to rally support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election.

The 63-year-old Obama, recognized as his party’s most effective orator, emphasized the urgency of the moment, warning that Donald Trump could return to the presidency.

He criticized Trump as a “malicious, ridiculous and incompetent menace,” urging voters to back Harris despite their economic insecurities, CNN has reported.

Obama’s appearance highlighted his continued influence in Democratic politics as he sought to frame a compelling argument for the incumbent administration.
