Barack Obama, who used to be president of the United States, spoke well at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in Chicago in support of Kamala Harris’s campaign to become the next president. The event, which happened just a few weeks before the very important election in November, was a turning point in the race. Obama gave a speech that emphasised how important the election was and why Harris and her running mate Tim Walz should lead the country.
There was electricity in the gathering hall as soon as Obama took the stage. The crowd went wild with cheers and applause after hearing talks from Michelle Obama, Doug Emhoff, and other famous people. The former president, who was known for being a great speaker, did not let anyone down. Obama used a vivid metaphor to describe what he thinks is at stake in the election: he called it a “battle for the soul of the nation.” He talked about the problems the country is facing, like climate change and unequal pay, and said Harris is the only person who can solve these problems.
Barack Obama takes the stage at the DNC, delivering a powerful endorsement for Kamala Harris and rallying support for a future of unity and progress.
Obama’s support for Harris was based on both his personal and political views. They had a lot in common, they had worked together before, and he talked about Harris’s commitment to public service. He praised her as Vice President for how she led on topics like healthcare, voting rights, and changing the way the criminal justice system works. Obama also talked about how important Harris’s campaign was, pointing out that she was the first Black woman and the first Asian American woman to be chosen for president by a major political party. He told people in the United States to see this as a chance to welcome progress and acceptance.
The former president also didn’t like how the Republican Party is run now, saying that extremism and division rule the party. Obama criticised the leadership of the GOP for giving up on ideals and adopting a dangerous style of politics, but he didn’t name Donald Trump. He talked about how there were former Republicans at the convention who had switched parties to back Harris and Walz. He used their support as proof of the large coalition the country needs to solve its problems.
A defining moment at the DNC: Barack Obama passionately supports Kamala Harris, urging Americans to embrace change and defend democracy.
Obama’s speech showed how influential he is in the Democratic Party and how he can get people to vote. He made it clear that the upcoming election is very important for the country and that the choice between Harris and her opponents is not just about policy. It’s about where the country is going, how to protect democracy, and how to find leaders who will bring people together instead of dividing them.

At the end of the convention, it was clear that Obama’s backing had given Harris’s campaign a big boost. His appearance made the race even more important and energised the Democratic base. With more at stake than ever, Obama’s message hit home with both long-time Democrats and people who were fed up with the way politics are going right now. The road to the White House is still hard, but Harris and Walz are going into the home stretch with new energy and a clear picture of the future thanks to Obama’s support.
