【By Liu Bai, Observers Network】Former U.S. President Obama has once again spoken out. On November 1st local time, he attended two campaign rallies to support Democratic gubernatorial candidates and urged voters to boycott the "lawless and reckless actions" of the Trump administration in next week's election.

According to Reuters, this former president, who still enjoys high support among Democrats, made sharp accusations against the Trump administration at rallies for Democratic gubernatorial candidates Abigail Spanberger in Virginia and Micky Sorrell in New Jersey.

"Frankly speaking, our country and policies are currently in a rather dark situation," Obama said to a group of enthusiastic supporters of Spanberger at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

"I don't know where to start," he said, "because this White House brings a new round of lawlessness, recklessness, narrow-mindedness, and sheer nonsense every day."

Obama strongly criticized Trump's "chaotic and disorderly" tariff policies and the deployment of National Guard units to American cities. He criticized Republican members of Congress for failing to check Trump's actions even though they knew they were overstepping.

He also expressed his surprise at how quickly business leaders, law firms, and universities chose to "yield and compromise" to please Trump.

Later that day, Obama continued his criticism of the Trump administration at an event supporting Sorrell in Newark, New Jersey, reiterating many of the same points.

"It's like every day is Halloween, but there's only tricks and no candy," Obama said.

The former president occasionally used sarcasm when mentioning some of Trump's decisions, such as renovating parts of the White House during a government shutdown.

He said, "Fairly speaking, he did focus on some key issues, such as paving the Rose Garden with concrete so people's shoes wouldn't get muddy, and building a $300 million banquet hall."

Polling shows that 46-year-old Spanberger is leading 61-year-old Republican candidate, Lieutenant Governor Winsome Earle-Sears, by a large margin. Spanberger was a CIA official and served as a member of Congress for six years.

Most polls show that Sorrell leads 63-year-old Republican Jack Ciattarelli by a single-digit margin. Ciattarelli was a state legislator and is running for governor for the third consecutive time.

In recent years, some statewide elections in New Jersey have been closer than expected, giving Republicans in the state renewed hope. Although the number of registered Democratic voters in New Jersey is twice that of Republicans, Ciattarelli lost the 2021 gubernatorial election by just three percentage points, and Trump lost the state by only six percentage points in last year's presidential election.

U.S. presidents usually try to avoid criticizing their successors after leaving office. However, in recent months, Obama has frequently criticized Trump's actions against American colleges and judges, and he has also criticized Democratic leaders for not pushing back more forcefully against the White House's policies.

For example, on September 16th, one week after conservative political activist Charlie Kirk was shot, Obama spoke about the incident at an event in Pennsylvania.

He warned that the United States is facing an "unprecedented political crisis" and criticized Trump and his allies' incendiary rhetoric.

Obama said that Trump's administration's incendiary rhetoric is leading the United States to a "turning point" and urged the White House not to endorse "extreme views."

"I think one of the president's responsibilities at such a moment, when tensions are rising, is to unite the people," Obama said.

The White House was not to be outdone, with its spokesperson stating in a statement to the media: "Obama takes every opportunity to create division and pit Americans against each other."

"His divisive speech has inspired generations of Democrats to label opponents as 'deplorables,' fascists, or Nazis," the White House spokesperson said.
