Obama used the speech as an opportunity to bluntly tell Black male voters to pick Harris.

Get off your couch and vote.

Put down your phone and vote.

Grab your friends and family and vote.

Vote for Kamala Harris.

Obamapreviously spoke in supportof Harris at the Democratic National Convention in August.

We do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos, Obama said of Trump.

We have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse.

America is ready for a new chapter, a better story.

We are ready for President Kamala Harris.
