Obama urges black men to mobilise behind Harris

Former US President Barack Obama has made an impassioned plea to black men to get behind the Democratic nominee.

In an unannounced stop at a Harris campaign field office in the swing state of Pennsylvania, he chided male voters “coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses” not to support a woman for president.

Obama later mocked Donald Trump for “crazy conspiracy theories, the two-hour speeches, word salad” as he debuted on the 2024 campaign trail.
