Obama Preparing to Step Up Efforts to Resist Trump — ‘Not So Sure’ Country Will Survi
Quote:Barack Obama is ready to throw his hat back into the political fray.
According to CNN, the two-time former president is “not so sure” that the country will survive Donald Trump’s presidency and is preparing to step up his campaigning efforts in support of the Democratic Party.
Their report states:
After deliberately stepping back during the Biden years — while remaining the party’s biggest fundraiser even then — Obama and his aides are reworking his longstanding strategy of minimizing his public presence to allow the next generation of Democrats to emerge.
Trump’s moves to block Democrats from power since his return to the White House and his calls to indict or shut down liberal institutions might, Obama fears, deny that next generation the chance.
…
Hitting the campaign trail for moderate gubernatorial candidates, as Obama is scheduled to do in back-to-back stops on Saturday for Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, is the easy part for the former president.
It’s what to do every other day of the year, and each of the years to come, that he’s been struggling with, according to CNN’s conversations with two dozen top Democratic officials and operatives, as well as several friends who have spoken with the former president since Trump returned to office.
The story quotes former Democratic attorney general Eric Holder, a close friend of the former president, as saying that Trump’s “harm is so profound that this calls for both a different approach generally, and a different involvement specifically by President Obama.”
“If we are focused, if we’re willing to engage, if we are willing to do the work, the nation and our democracy can survive this,” he explained.
“There will be damage done along the way — there’s no question about that. We won’t win every battle.”
Despite remaining a spiritual leader of the Democratic Party, Obama has rarely gotten involved in full-scale political campaigning since leaving office in 2017, although has stepped up for both the 2020 and 2024 presidential campaigns and significant national races.
Obama was said skeptical of Kamala Harris’s chances of winning from the moment she was handed the nomination and anticipated Trump’s victory.
Just this week, it was reported that Obama had exploded after former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi immediately endorsed Kamala Harris after Joe Biden withdrew from the race.
In his upcoming book Retribution, ABC News journalist Jonathan Karl writes that one person summarized Obama’s message to Pelosi as basically, “What the f*ck did you just do?”
Needless to say, Obama’s instincts were bang on the money and Harris went on to lose by a landslide.

Trump keeps talking about a third term, I don’t think he has thought about who he would have to run against. Obama would whip him.

Maybe Obama will find better marksmen and succeed where others have failed and fulfill the dream of many if not most of his party.

Biden got more of the "Black Vote" in all of the 7 swing states "ONLY" than Obama did during a world wide pandemic. Figure that one out.

Are you saying he hasn’t talked extensively about a third term this year?

I guess he decided not to try because he is scared of Obama.

Nope. He has. But your links are 8 and 3 months old. And he never said he would. He qualified it, said he wouldn't do it, joked around about it, etc. Read your own links.
You said "keeps talking," implying he still was considering such a thing. Nope. And he has made it clear that's not happening.
Do you have any clue what a stupid argument you're making? No wonder you support the Democrat party.

I used older articles to show how long he has been talking about it.
You can buy a Trump 2028 hat on his official store today.
In the same air force 1 comments he said “I would love to do it” and “Am I not ruling it out? I mean, you’ll have to tell me.”
What he eliminated as too cute was running as VP.
Reading if fundamental. Hopefully you can improve your reading comprehension.
