Barack Obama's "gravely ill" grandmother might not live to see whether her grandson is elected to the White House, the U.S. Democratic presidential candidate said Friday as he took a break from the campaign to visit her in Hawaii.
Madelyn Dunham, 85, who helped raise Obama and is described by the Illinois senator as the "rock" of his family, recently broke her hip. She is also reported to have a heart condition, but Obama has refused to disclose more details of her condition.
"We weren't sure and I'm still not sure whether she makes it to election day," Obama told ABC's Good Morning America in an interview broadcast Friday.
