Washington: As he readies to hit the campaign trail for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, former US President Barack Obama urged the country's youth to vote in the November 3 election, as their "generation can be the one that creates a new normal in America".
In a video posted on his Twitter account on Tuesday, Obama said: "one of the most inspiring things about this year has been to see so many young Americans fired up, organizing, marching and fighting for change. Your generation can be the one that creates a new normal in America. One that's fairer, where the system treats everybody equally and gives everybody opportunity. We can come out of this moment stronger than before."

The video came a day before Obama's appearance at a Philadelphia event as part of the campaign trail for Biden, who was his Vice President from January 20, 2009, to January 20, 2017.
In Tuesday's vide, Obama said about Biden that he is "better than almost anybody", local media reported.
"I trust him to be a great President. He's different. He's on the right side of the issues.
"He will get the job done. And Joe and Kamala will want you to keep pushing them to get the job done," the former leader added.
