Former President Barack Obama said Friday his successor, President Donald Trump, is “the symptom, not the cause” of division and polarization in the US. “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. While the former president will be visible throughout the general election, the adviser said that Obama will not be a daily presence on the campaign trail.
