Obama urges Americans to embrace Harris and reject "bumbling and chaos" of a second Trump term

Washington — Former President Barack Obama on Tuesday sought to persuade Americans to leave the "chaos" of former President Donald Trump's administration behind in pursuit of a "new chapter" ushered in by Vice President Kamala Harris. 

Obama received an enthusiastic welcome from Democratic delegates, elected officials and other party luminaries as he delivered a keynote address on the second night of the Democratic National Convention. 

The former president sought to draw distinctions between the Democratic ticket of Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, and their Republican opponents, warning of what a second term for Trump would bring.
