Former U.S. President Barack Obama returns to the national stage on Tuesday night to support Kamala Harris in her last-ditch presidential campaign against Republican Donald Trump. Harris, aiming to make history as the first woman and the first Black and South Asian president of the United States, has Obama's significant political influence behind her.
Michelle Obama, a speculated future presidential candidate among Democrats, will speak ahead of her husband. Disillusioned Republicans like former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham and ex-Trump voter Kyle Sweetser will also be featured, having now crossed party lines.
Obama's role is crucial as he outlines a path to victory for Harris, while emphasizing the challenges ahead for Democrats in the coming weeks. Harris' campaign, still developing its policy platform, relies heavily on Democratic enthusiasm post-Biden. However, capturing the votes of conservative Trump detractors is also pivotal for success this November.
