Just days away from the midterm elections, former President Barack Obama returned to the campaign trail Friday to urge support for Democratic candidates in narrow races and warn of looming threats to democracy.

The former president's first stop was Georgia, where he campaigned for Sen. Raphael Warnock and gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.

"This election matters, Georgia," he added.
