Live updates: Donald Trump, Kamala Harris election news | CNN Politics

Former President Barack Obama on Sunday sought to convince remaining undecided voters in the key battleground state of Wisconsin their vote will make a difference and to back Vice President Kamala Harris, with mere days remaining before Election Day.

“So, if you are still on the fence in this election, think about what really matters, think about the values we were taught by our parents and our grandparents, think about the kind of country we want to be. And understand that your vote really does count,” he said at a campaign rally in Milwaukee.

“Here in Wisconsin, a single precinct might be decided by 10 or 20 votes, and those votes could determine the fate of our Republic, the world that our children and grandchildren will inherit. That is an awesome responsibility,” Obama said.

He attempted to dismantle the reasons people may support former President Donald Trump, including over the economy and the stimulus checks sent to Americans during the pandemic – which Obama argued was nothing “unique” but Trump put his name on the check as a “marketing tool.”

“It turns out, one of the reasons people think Donald Trump will improve the economy is because they watched ‘The Apprentice’ … So I want everybody to be clear, that was not reality. That was a reality show. The truth is, Donald Trump was given $400 million by his daddy, that’s how he got rich,” he said.

Zeroing in on different voting blocs – union members, small business owners, veterans, Muslim and Jewish voters – Obama raised Trump’s record and rhetoric. Speaking to Black and Latino voters, Obama said, “You feel like too often your community is overlooked by politicians, except during election time, I get how you feel.”

“But why would you think the answer is to vote for someone who has a long history of demeaning and disregarding your community,” he added, then referring to Trump’s controversial Madison Square Garden rally last week, when speakers spewed racist and vulgar attacks on the former president’s opponents.
