Former President Barack Obama and Senator Kamala Harris of California offered their prayers for President Trump and the first lady, Melania Trump, on Friday evening, colliding with the timing of an emailed fund-raising appeal from the Trump campaign.

The subject line: Lyin Obama.

Lyin Obama and Phony Kamala Harris are calling up their Liberal MEGA DONORS to come and rescue Joe Bidens failing campaign, read the message. Theyre holding a COASTAL ELITE fund-raiser RIGHT NOW.

Just minutes earlier, Mr. Obama and Ms. Harris, the Democratic nominee for vice president, had opened their virtual fund-raiser by wishing the president and his wife a speedy recovery, with the former president urging all Americans to hope for the presidents recovery even in the middle of a contentious campaign.

The combative tone of the email came hours after the Biden campaign pulled down all its negative ads against the president, though some already in circulation could take time to stop airing.

The Trump campaign has said it has no plans to stop its attack ads against the Democratic nominee. Announcing an event on Thursday in Peoria, Ariz., to be headlined by Vice President Mike Pence, the campaign accused Mr. Biden of advocating for the far-lefts agenda and having turned his back on Arizonans.

During the online fund-raiser for former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., Mr. Obama told watchers: Even when were in the midst of big political battles with issues that have a lot at stake, that were all Americans and were all human beings, and we want to make sure everybody is healthy. Michelle and I want to make sure we acknowledge the president and the first lady at this difficult time.

Ms. Harris offered her deepest prayers, adding, Let it be a reminder to all of us that we must remain vigilant and take care of ourselves and take care of each other.

The two officials, who were joined by the actor Michael B. Jordan, also tried to assuage concerns and dispel misinformation about voting, particularly casting ballots by mail. Mr. Trump has spent weeks waging a disinformation campaign about the integrity of the American electoral system.

All three said they planned to cast their ballots by mail.

Im going to fill it out at my kitchen table and Im going to get over to the drop box and Im going to drop it off as early as I can, said Ms. Harris, who added she had the date to request her ballot circled on her calendar.

Mr. Obama, who rattled off the name of his polling place in Chicagos Hyde Park neighborhood, said he had cast mail-in ballots since winning the presidency, in part to avoid the crowds that slow down lines when he appears.

When I vote in person, theres a price, he said. It slows down a whole bunch of folks.
