Caption: Obama Attacks Trump As He Campaigns For Democrats Ahead Of Midterms. Former U.S. President Barack Obama criticised President Donald Trump over the Iran war, rising prices and his administration while campaigning for Democrats in Ohio and Michigan. Obama told supporters the November 3 midterms were their "last best chance" to rein in the Trump administration, with control of Congress at stake. The former president argued that living costs had risen under Trump and blamed the administration's decisions, including the Iran war, for higher prices. Obama also mocked Trump's White House renovations and criticised what he described as "chaos and cruelty and corruption and incompetence" under his administration. Trump campaigned separately in Georgia, defending his tariff policies and telling supporters that the United States was in a "golden age”. The president repeated his pledge to provide every U.S. adult with a $5,000 payment if Republicans retain control of both the House and Senate. Obama appeared in Ohio alongside Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod Brown and gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton before campaigning for Democrats in Michigan. The November 3 elections will determine control of Congress for the final two years of Trump's term, with early voting already under way.
