Obama Knocks ‘Old Politics of Division’ in Return to Campaign Trail
WASHINGTON — Making his first appearance on the campaign trail since leaving the White House, former President Barack Obama on Thursday avoided directly criticizing President Donald Trump while stumping in New Jersey for the state's Democratic nominee for governor.
Obama called on voters to reject the "old politics of division ... that dates back centuries" in the Nov. 7 election.
"Some of the politics we see now, we thought we put that to bed," he told a mostly African-American audience in Newark. "It's the 21st century, not the 19th century. Come on!"
