PHILADELPHIA, United States (AFP) — President Barack Obama on Monday made the case for Hillary Clinton at a huge rally in Philadelphia uniting the Democratic Party’s two power families, telling voters to “reject fear and choose hope” on Election Day.
“I’m betting that the wisdom and decency and generosity of the American people will once again win the day and that is a bet that I have never, ever lost,” Obama said to tens of thousands of voters as he introduced Clinton.
