Barack Obama LIVE: Obama Rallies for Kamala Harris in Milwaukee Before Elections | Trump News | US Elections 2024 | CNBC TV18
Barack Obama delivered a stark warning to Jewish and Muslim voters during a campaign rally in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on Sunday, criticizing Republican nominee Donald Trump's track record with religious minorities.
Speaking at the Baird Center while stumping for Vice President Kamala Harris, Obama addressed the complex intersection of religious identity and political allegiance in the upcoming November 5 election, particularly in light of heightened tensions in the Middle East.
"Maybe you're Muslim-American or Jewish-American and you are heartbroken and furious about the ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East and worried about the rise of antisemitism," Obama said. "Why would you place your faith in somebody who instituted a so-called Muslim ban? Who sat down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers, who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist rally?"
Former President Barack Obama will hold a campaign rally in Milwaukee on Sunday, just two days before the election that will pit Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris against Republican former President Donald Trump.
Obama's return to Wisconsin to stump for Harris comes on the final day of in-person absentee voting in this key swing state. It's a fitting return, given that his first visit of this campaign was last week in Madison on the first day early voting.
As of Friday morning, more than 1.3 million absentee ballots had been returned by Wisconsin voters. Of those, 801,083 were via in-person absentee voting, according to Wisconsin Elections Commission data.
Walz and his wife, Gwen Walz, will also be returning to Wisconsin on Monday as part of a battleground state “blitz,” according to the campaign.
