Obama: Trump Failed To Take Pandemic And Presidency Seriously
DETROIT (AP) Calling Joe Biden his brother, Barack Obama on Saturday accused Donald Trump of failing to take the coronavirus pandemic and the presidency seriously as Democrats leaned on Americas first Black president to energize Black voters in battleground Michigan on the final weekend of the 2020 campaign.

Obama, the 44th president, and Biden, his vice president who wants to be the 46th, held drive-in rallies in Flint and Detroit, predominantly Black cities where strong turnout will be essential to swing the longtime Democratic state to Bidens column after Trump won it in 2016.
Three days until the most important election of our lifetime and that includes mine, which was pretty important, said Obama, urging Democrats to get to the polls.
The memories of Trumps win in Michigan and the rest of the Upper Midwest are still searing in the minds of many Democrats during this closing stretch before Tuesdays election. That leaves Biden in the position of holding a consistent lead in the national polls and an advantage in most battlegrounds, including Michigan, yet still facing anxiety it could all slip away.
