GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · North America

Just five days before the US midterm elections, former president Barack Obama came to Georgia in a show of support to Senator Jon Ossoff in tthe midterm elections. Obama commented on the reaction of Trump's administration to a joke he had made the day before. "He was very upset about the Cheesecake Factory comments", Obama said. "They mobilized a whole-of-government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke." As the election is getting closer, polls point to a possible Democratic majority in the House.
