Democrats saw a sight for sore eyes on Wednesday when former President Barack Obama hit the campaign trail in Philadelphia. They see the former president as a key factor in encouraging Black men, Latinos, and younger voters to turn out and vote. CNN reports Obama delivered a blistering account of President Donald Trump's first four years in office. He argued that Trump has proved to be 'incapable of taking the job seriously' and has shown no interest in 'helping anybody but himself and his friends.' Obama suggested Trump uses the presidency to boost his own profile, then noted, 'Even then, his TV ratings are down. So you know that upsets him.' Obama's remarks will undoubtedly anger Trump, who has continued to attack his predecessor even after almost four years removed from his last day in office.
Hundreds of Bernie Sanders supporters gathered in Vermont Park, outside Philadelphia on Sunday, to hold a rally in support of the Senator just before the Democratic National Convention, despite the fact that Sanders has already endorsed Clinton. The crowd heard impassioned speeches from actors Susan Sarandon and Danny Glover, who backed Sanders throughout his ultimately unsuccessful bid for Democratic presidential nomination.
Thousands rallied in Philadelphia on Sunday in support of Senator Bernie Sanders just one day ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) that is due to take place in the same city. Bernie supporters rallied for their candidate despite the fact that he has already endorsed Hillary Clinton as the democratic nominee for the general election, showing that some people are clearly not ready to give up hope.
On Friday, President-elect Joe Biden said he expects his January 20 inauguration to be a "more imaginative" virtual event. Business Insider reports the event will be much like the 2020 DNC. "It is highly unlikely that there will be a million people on the mall, going all the way down to the [Lincoln] Memorial," Biden said. The decision is in stark contrast to that made by President Trump. Trump began his term in 2017 by arguing about the number of spectators at his inauguration.
When it comes to his Cabinet, President Donald Trump has certainly lived up to his 'Celebrity Apprentice' catchphrase, 'You're fired.' Whether they left because they resigned or were fired, the list of former Trump officials who say they'll be voting for Democratic opponent Joe Biden is growing. According to Business Insider, some have joined anti-Trump political coalitions such as The Lincoln Project, Republican Voters Against Trump, and others. Hoping to sway the votes of independent, undecided, and moderate Republicans, they've spent millions on campaign ads to oust Trump from the White House. Former DHS chief of staff Miles Taylor called working under Trump 'terrifying," saying many things Trump wanted the department to do were illegal. Former White House communications director, Anthony Scaramucci, says he'll be voting for Biden. And former national security adviser John Bolton won't be voting for Trump or Biden. Instead, he'll write in the name of a conservative candidate.
