In final appeal, Obama urges voters to 'reject fear and choose hope'

November 08, 2016 08:03

US President Barack Obama on Tuesday made the case for Hillary Clinton at a huge rally in Philadelphia uniting the Democratic Party's two power families, telling voters to "reject fear and choose hope" on Election Day.

"I'm betting that the wisdom and decency and generosity of the American people will once again win the day and that is a bet that I have never, ever lost," Obama said to tens of thousands of voters as he introduced Clinton.

He said voters don't have to settle for just voting against Donald Trump when voters "have somebody extraordinary to vote for" in Hillary Clinton.

Obama was delivering his closing pitch for Clinton during a star-studded rally in Philadelphia. The US President added that he had to "bite my tongue" throughout the "nonsense" of the campaign.

"If his closest advisors don't trust him to tweet, why would any of us trust him with the nuclear codes?" he said.
