Former U.S. president Barack Obama warned about divisions fueling a "dangerous climate" in U.S. politics as he stumped for Democratic candidates on Saturday — three days ahead of midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.

The biggest names in Democratic and Republican politics — Obama, President Joe Biden, and his predecessor Donald Trump — are in Pennsylvania on Saturday hoping to tip the balance in a pivotal midterm U.S. Senate race between Democrat John Fetterman and Republican celebrity doctor, Mehmet Oz.

Obama told the rally that the politically motivated attack on Democratic House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, was a product of hateful rhetoric.

"This habit we have of demonizing political opponents, of saying crazy stuff, it creates a dangerous climate," Obama said, without referencing Republicans directly. "More than that, we violate the basic spirit of our democracy, the spirit of who we are as Americans."

The Fetterman-Oz Senate race is one of three critical contests, along with Georgia and Nevada, that will determine whether Democrats hold onto their razor-thin majority in the Senate, and with it the power to confirm Biden's nominees to posts ranging from his Cabinet to the Supreme Court.
