Barack Obama campaigns on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee and his former Vice President Joe Biden in Philadelphia. It was the largest event of its kind that the Biden campaign has staged amid the Covid outbreak. After Obama spoke, Trump held a rally in North Carolina, another battleground state where opinion polls show a tight race. Biden's running mate, Kamala Harris, was also in North Carolina to mobilise voters in Asheville and Charlotte. The Biden campaign is hopeful that Obama will commit to more events before the election.
