SD. Obama calls on New Jersey to set ‘glorious example’ for nation ahead of governor’s race
🔥 Obama Rocks Newark Rally — “Don’t Boo, Go Vote!” 🗳️🇺🇸
NEWARK, NJ — Anyone thinking former President Barack Obama has lost his political pull clearly wasn’t at Essex County College on Saturday night.
Long lines wrapped around the venue, hundreds of eager supporters packed the gymnasium, and the moment Obama’s name was mentioned, the crowd erupted in cheers, whistles, and chants. The energy was electric. ⚡
With his trademark humor, Obama quipped repeatedly:
“Don’t boo. Go vote.”
But behind the jokes was a serious message: elections matter — and your vote shapes the future.
“If you meet this moment, if you believe change can happen, you will not just elect Mikie Sherrill your next governor, you will not just put New Jersey on a path to a brighter future, you will set a glorious example for this nation,” he told the packed audience.
The rally drew fans who lined up hours in advance, many thrilled just to see Obama in person. His presence alone seemed to electrify the room, inspiring both longtime Democrats and young first-time voters alike.
With Election Day just days away, Democrats are counting on rallies like this to galvanize turnout and give Sherrill the edge in a tight New Jersey race.
