US President Barack Obama has attended his first solo campaign rally for Hillary Clinton, in the East Coast city of Philadelphia.
His appearance had already been scheduled and was unrelated to Mrs. Clinton's decision to take a few days off the campaign trail after being diagnosed with pneumonia.
Mr. Obama defended his former Secretary of State, her campaign's transparency and her fitness for the Presidency - and said Republicans were encouraging anger and hatred.
Speaking to a crowd of around 6000 people outside the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the President said he felt Hillary Clinton would carry on his legacy:
IN: I could not…
OUT: ...United States of America (cheers)
DUR: 18 seconds

The President accused Hillary Clinton's Republican rival Donald Trump of taking Russian President Vladimir Putin as a role model:
IN: Who just last...
OUT: ...a long recession
DUR: 23 seconds
Mr. Obama said the Republican party's values had changed:
IN: This isn't Abraham...
OUT: ...dark, pessimistic vision
DUR: 14 seconds
The President made fun of the idea that Donald Trump, a billionaire businessman, could really care about the working class:
IN: 70 years on...
OUT: ...as he could
DUR: 13 seconds
Mr. Obama said that Hillary Clinton had a ferocious work ethic and he was fully behind her as his successor:
IN: This is not…
OUT: ...a long time
