Former President Barack Obama jumped on the virtual stump for Joe Biden on Tuesday, urging his supporters to show up for his former vice president in an election he called a “tipping point.”
One of the most inspiring things about this year has been seeing so many young people organizing, marching, and fighting for change. And to change the game on any of the issues we care about, we've got to vote for @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris. pic.twitter.com/vfHnP4XPxK

Obama, talking in a video that he tweeted, said he was empowered by a “growing movement” for justice and progress on various issues facing Americans.
“This is actually a tipping point. Also, that force possibly proceeds if we win this election,” Obama said.
He included that in such a polarized political climate, voting matters more than ever.
“Participate and vote. It’s not always pretty. Trust me, I know. But it’s how, bit by bit, we’ve made progress over the generations. And it’s how your generation is going to change the game entirely,” he said.
Obama is set to headline a drive-in rally for Biden in Philadelphia on Wednesday, the first event he’ll appear at for his former vice president since the start of the campaign.
