“So let's try something new. — the ex-president tweeted — If you are in the US, send me a text message at 773-365-9687. I want to know how you are doing, what is on your mind and how you plan to vote this year. ”
«I will also get in touch from time to time to share my thoughts.»
All right, let's try something new. If you're in the United States, send me a text at 773-365-9687 — I want to hear how you're doing, what's on your mind, and how you're planning on voting this year.

The number that anyone can use to contact Obama is tied to the Community sms platform, which allows public figures to call and text ordinary Americans directly.
The former American leader's tweet was published 41 days before the election. They are expected to set a record for the number of people voting by mail amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
