In the Video, the Obama’s vice president also promised to repeal the Trump’s popular ‘’Muslim ban’’ even on the first days of his rule at the White House if elected. In Trump’s rule, there were many introduced travel bans on several Muslim majority countries. This was done through a series of executive orders that he signed from January to March in 2017. This series of restrictions was known as the ‘’Muslim Ban’’.
