As elections draw closer, the country of US is prepping up. Former US Prez Barack Obama will be campaigning for Democratic party presidential candidate Joe Biden in Pennsylvania next week. Current President Trump, however, directed his supporters that Obama was an "ineffective" campaigner and this was good news for him as in 2016 "they did a lousy job and that's why I'm your president". Biden, 77, was the vice president during Obama's two terms. While Obama has defended Biden and his running mate and India-origin Senator Kamala Harris by making online campaigns for them, this would be the first time that the 59-year-old former president would be campaigning in person.

It has been four years that he left the presidency, Obama because of his oratory skills, still remains the biggest crowd-puller for the opposition Democratic party. A statement was released by Biden's campaign that said, "On Wednesday, October 21, (former) President Obama will travel to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to campaign on behalf of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris." No other details were available. As per the latest opinion polls, Biden leads against Republican incumbent President Donald Trump by over nine points on an average.

Nevertheless, there are signs that the polls are binding, particularly after Trump continued his rallies post his recovery from COVID-19. He has been drawing thousands of supporters to his election rallies in the battleground states. Obama is the only Democratic leader who can attract a big crowd in his election rallies. His intervening in the campaign, with a little over a fortnight left for the presidential elections, is likely to motivate and encourage Black Americans and fence sitters to come out and vote, Biden strategists believe.
