Former President Barack Obama said on Friday that his successor, President Donald Trump, is "the symptom, not the cause" of division and polarization in the US. Trump, the former president said, is "just capitalising on resentments that politicians have been fanning for years." "Just a glance at recent headlines should tell you this moment really is different," Obama said. Next week, Obama plans to campaign in Ohio for Richard Cordray, the Democratic nominee for governor, and Ohio Democrats. Obama's campaign activity will continue through October and will include fundraising appearances, according to an Obama adviser.
