Both Trump and Kamala Harris were in Michigan searching for holdout votes ahead of the November 5 election, with Harris focused on abortion rights and Trump returning to his anti-immigrant campaign theme. Obama said Democratic candidate Harris would be an “extraordinary president of the United States” if elected in just 10 days.  But, with polls forecasting a virtual dead heat, she also spoke of a sense of frustration and anxiety that few on Harris’s team dare express after she lost some momentum in recent weeks. “My hope about Kamala is also accompanied by some genuine fear,” Obama said, ripping into Trump’s record and asking, “Why is this race even close?” “I’m a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator …
