Barack Obama's Zingers Hit Trump’s Platform
Pennsylvania, USASat Oct 12 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has shared video clips of former President Barack Obama slamming Republican nominee Donald Trump. The videos were posted on Truth Social, Trump's own social media platform. This clever move comes as Harris and Trump compete closely in the polls, with states like Pennsylvania being crucial. Obama's rally in Pennsylvania saw a lot of heat directed at Trump, especially on economic issues. One clip has Obama pointing out that the strong economy Trump took over was actually his doing. The campaign tagged Trump in the posts, adding a touch of sarcastic fun.
Truth Social was founded by Trump after he was banned from other platforms. It's known for having fewer restrictions, focusing on free speech. The Trump campaign hit back at Obama's comments, criticizing Harris' record. The Harris campaign doubled down, sharing another clip where Obama jokes about Trump's merchandise, like Trump-branded Bibles and watches. This back-and-forth highlights the tension and focuses on issues important to voters.
