In brief
In a series of high‑energy rallies, Barack Obama takes aim at Donald Trump as the U.S. heads into the 3 November midterm elections. Obama criticises the current administration’s handling of Iran, the rise in consumer prices, and calls on voters to confront a record‑setting war. Trump counters with his trademark swagger, boasting of tariff‑driven gains and promising a $5,000 payout if his party retains power. The outcome of the midterms will shape Congress and the president’s next steps. Watch the full argument and hear how the two former leaders clash in this heated showdown.
Former President Barack Obama is campaigning for Democrats ahead of the 3 November midterm elections, this week he fired shots at Donald Trump over the Iran war and the high price of living. He said the election is the last chance to rein in the disastrous policies of the current administration.
Obama told crowds in Ohio that the war has given Tehran veto power over the Strait of Hormuz, calling Trump a “loser” for not ending the conflict. He urged voters to take action against the current administration’s failure on inflation and health care.
Meanwhile, Donald Trump stayed in Georgia, touting a golden age for America, claiming the country is growing stronger with tariffs and pledging a $5,000 payout for every adult if Republicans win both chambers of Congress.
Both leaders have highlighted major points: Obama on the war, on consumer prices and on the critical role of Congress, while Trump on immigration, border defense and wealth building. The midterms on 3 November will decide control of Congress and whether Trump’s plans can continue unimpeded.
