Obama Assails 'Cruelty' and Indecency From Republicans in Midterm Campaign

Obama delivered his sharpest midterm attack on Trump in recent memory and criticized Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign ad as an example of political coarsening.

  • On Saturday, former President Barack Obama campaigned in Cleveland, Ohio, delivering a forceful critique of President Donald Trump and Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.
  • Obama criticized Ramaswamy for an ad featuring the estranged mother of Democratic rival Amy Acton, prompting Acton to condemn it, saying, "My opponent has chosen to exploit, intentionally, my childhood to save his stumbling campaign."
  • Ridiculing Trump's focus on White House renovations, Obama quipped, "I don't know if you've noticed, but he seems very focused on home renovation," and characterized the administration as "two years of chaos and cruelty and corruption."
  • Ramaswamy defended the ad as "fair game," though Republican leaders including Gov. Mike DeWine called for its removal despite support from Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
  • Obama will continue rallying for Democrats in Michigan and Georgia ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, as these Midwestern battlegrounds are expected to determine the balance of power in American politics.
