PITTSBURGH — Former President Barack Obama made his first campaign stop in the City of Pittsburgh, rallying the vote for Vice President Kamala Harris. Joined by top state leaders like Gov. Josh Shapiro, Lt. Gov. Austin Davis, and Senator Bob Casey, his visit comes as the race for the White House remains close. “We are ready for a better story Pennsylvania, we are ready for a President Kamala Harris,” Obama said. Thursday night was Obama’s first visit to the city since 2022, his stop a part of a nationwide swing through battleground states – rallying support for Harris. During his speech, the former president laid out what he said is the stark contrast between Vice President Harris and former President Donald Trump. “Donald Trump is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems,” Obama said. He continued by addressing the crowded auditorium, “What I cannot understand is why anyone would think that Donald Trump would shake things up in a way that is good for you, Pennsylvania,” he questioned. This visit marks the first of several stops for the former president who is expected to make visits in other battleground states ahead of the election, while Harris will visit Erie on Monday.
