US Election News Live Updates: Former President Barack Obama addressed a packed convention hall in Detroit on Tuesday evening, urging Michigan voters to rally behind Vice President Kamala Harris as the election approaches. Reflecting on the chaos and violence that unfolded in Detroit following the 2020 election, Obama slammed former President Donald Trump for sowing division and mistrust in the electoral process. During his speech at Huntington Place, where mail ballots were counted in 2020, Obama recounted how Trump's unfounded claims of voter fraud incited protesters to disrupt the counting process, leading to intimidation of poll workers. He referenced a recent filing from special counsel Jack Smith, which detailed a Trump campaign aide's incitement of unrest during the Detroit Counting Center incident, prompting a strong reaction from the crowd. When attendees began to boo, Obama firmly reminded them, “Do not boo. Vote.” Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates recently contributed around $50 million to a nonprofit supporting Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign, according to The New York Times. US President Joe Biden recently warned that global leaders are deeply concerned about the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House
