TUCSON – Barack Obama cast his White House successor as an out-of-touch elitist who promotes the wrong kind of masculinity, during a Friday stop in battleground Arizona, as he appealed directly to the young men whom Kamala Harris needs to win over to become the first woman elected president next month.

Democrat Kamala Harris will campaign for the first time with Barack and Michelle Obama in separate events next week, hoping to inject some political star power in the final dash to election day in November,

Kamala Harris and Donald Trump will both be scouring for votes in Michigan on Friday as they try to lock down support in this key political battleground.

Among the thousands of people waiting outside to attend the Kamala Harris rally at the Resch Expo Thursday afternoon were several supporters of former president Donald Trump. They had no intention to go inside to see Harris speak but wanted to make their own voices heard by standing outside.
