Obama gets rock star welcome as he campaigns with Democrats in Georgia

Former president Barack Obama received a rapturous welcome as he campaigned for Democrats in Georgia ahead of the midterm elections.

Obama made an appearance in Morrow, a suburb of Atlanta, alongside incumbent senator Jon Ossoff and gubernatorial hopeful Keisha Lance Bottoms.

The former commander-in-chief was given an ecstatic reception by around 4,000 people at the Discovery Center of Clayton County on Wednesday (October 28).

Obama hit the Trump administration on affordability issues and mocked their obsession with his Cheesecake Factory dig at the White House decor from a campaign stop in Ohio at the weekend.
