The former commander-in-chief was visiting the offices of Senator Tim Kaine and Jennifer Wexton, the Democratic candidate running in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District.

“You’ve been moving, so you’re allowed to have a little, little treat,” Obama added before Kaine joked, “Either this crowd likes you or they like doughnuts.”

In addition to bringing doughnuts, Obama gave out some words of encouragement.

“You vote, you might save a life; that’s pretty rare when that happens. … The character of this country is on the ballot,” he said, according to a video from CBS News. “Who we are is on the ballot. What kind of politics we expect is on the ballot. How we conduct ourselves in public life is on the ballot. How we treat other people is on the ballot.”

Describing the “great awakening” across the country, Obama explained that people who “were taken for granted,” including women and minorities, have made “certain strides and certain progress.”
