Obama argued that the fundamentals of American democracy were at stake, after President Trump called "to ask for a vote" in Georgia.

"Tomorrow is Election Day in Georgia and the risk cannot be higher. We are seeing how far some people are willing to go to hold on to power and threaten the fundamentals of American democracy."

Obama added that American democracy does not belong to any individual, including the president, but to the people.

Obama's statement came after Trump was exposed to a phone call demanding Georgia Secretary-General Brad Raffensperger "find 11,780 votes" so that he could overturn the victory of President-elect Joe Biden in the state.

Republican Rep. Don Bacon also criticized the US President for the call, saying that it was "wrong" for Trump to contact Georgia's secretary-general and to "find enough votes" to change the situation.

"We do our best to win elections. After the election closes, we have to play fair and with integrity," Bacon said.

Republican Rep. Liz Cheney also said President Trump's call to Georgia officials "caused serious trouble".

Trump has repeatedly criticized Secretary-General Raffensperger over the Georgia election results and also brought up charges of election fraud in the battlefield states Joe Biden won.

Before Obama, Hillary Clinton called Trump "the president has nothing to lose" after exposing his Georgia ballot call.
