WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Barack Obama has painted a unsparing portrait of American democracy on the brink if President Donald Trump wins in November.
Obama warned in a scathing, and at times emotional, address Wednesday that his successor is both unfit for office and apathetic about the nation’s founding principles.
His comments during the Democratic convention amounted to a damning assessment of his successor, intended to jolt Democrats into rallying around Joe Biden and doing whatever it takes to vote.
His address was also a call to action to a weary and anxious nation, particularly younger Americans frustrated with a government that may often appear out of touch with their interests.
