Former US President, Barrack Obama, has said that he will devote energy to campaigning for Joe Biden to succeed Donald Trump as American President.
He slammed Trump as operating a prejudiced government while describing his response to coronavirus as an absolutely chaotic disaster.
As CNN reports, Obama said this in a private call on Friday night with people who worked for him in the White House and across his administration.
He said: “This election that’s coming up — on every level — is so important because what we’re going to be battling is not just a particular individual or a political party.
“What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life.
“It’s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty.
“It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset of ‘what’s in it for me’ and ‘to heck with everybody else’ … is operationalized in our government.
“That’s why, I, by the way, am going to be spending as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as I can for Joe Biden.”
