"Hello Atlanta!"
The crowd goes wild like he's a pop star.
In the election campaign for the Senate, the Democrats in Georgia are using a proven silver bullet - the humor of their ex-President Barack Obama.
The Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker felt this once again.
The ex-football player had recently attracted attention with a bizarre campaign speech.
Barack Obama, former US President:
“Well, in case you forgot what I said last time – It's okay!
You only had to wait a minute.
He reminds you himself every time he opens his mouth, every day.
Something comes to him every day, every day.
Since I was last here, Mr. Walker has spoken on issues of great importance to the people of Georgia.
For example: would it be better to be a vampire or a werewolf?
That's a debate I have to admit I had once myself - when I was seven years old.
Then I grew up.
In case you're wondering how Mr. Walker decided, he wanted to be a werewolf.
What is great!
As far as I'm concerned, he can be anything he wants except a US Senator."
The runoff election in Georgia on December 6 has great significance for US politics.
If Obama manages to help his party colleague Raphael Warnock defeat Herschel Walker, it could give the Democrats a slim majority in the Senate.
Republicans have already won a slim majority in the House of Representatives.
