Former President Barack Obama will host a drive-in rally in Philadelphia on Wednesday as he seeks to get out the vote for Joe Biden in the former vice president’s bid to oust President Donald Trump.

Obama will look to increase the chances of high voter turnout in deep blue Philadelphia, which will be key for a Biden victory, along with surrounding suburban counties and a handful of counties in western Pennsylvania. The former president will speak at the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.

Wednesday’s rally will be the first time back in Philadelphia for Obama, who spoke in the city’s Museum of the American Revolution during the virtual Democratic National Convention earlier this year.

3. Obama delivers a blistering rebuke of Trump in his return to the campaign trail

Former President Barack Obama delivered an often-incredulous and blistering account of his successor's first four years in office on Wednesday in Philadelphia, making his most direct attacks on President Donald Trump to date both on substance and on a personal level.

The event is Obama's first stump speech for his former vice president, a welcome sight to Democrats who see the former president as Joe Biden's most potent character witness and a key factor in encouraging Black men, Latinos and younger voters to turn out and vote.

Obama's speech represented his most direct attacks on Trump to date, with the former Democratic leader leveling both substantive critiques -- like questioning Trump's tax policy and handling of the coronavirus pandemic -- and personal barbs, jabbing at shrinking ratings for the President's speeches and town halls. The former President wasted no time lacing into Trump, opening the remarks by mocking him for telling an audience in Erie, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday night that he wouldn't have visited the area if not for the coronavirus hurting his political fortunes.

The remarks drilled down on years of Democratic concerns about the President, with Obama arguing Trump's presidency has not only changed the way other countries view the United States but remade the way Americans feel about politics.
