Former President Barack Obama returned to the campaign trail on Wednesday, launching a blistering attack on Donald Trump.
 
Speaking at a drive-in rally in Philadelphia on behalf of Biden, his former vice president, Obama offered his fiercest critique yet of his successor, taking aim at Trump's divisive rhetoric. "He hasn't shown any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself," Obama said.
