Barack Obama’s cadence ended in January 2017, but three years later he becomes a key figure in the next presidential election in the United States.
This is reported by “Associated Press” agency.
According to the media, the first black president of the United States became a kind of symbol of success for the Democrats, Joe Biden. Obama remains very popular among young Democrats and African Americans, and the party does not miss an opportunity to exploit politics in the current race.
Donald Trump has his own views on his predecessor. News Front has previously reported on a campaign called “ObamaGate”. Its essence is to uncover a conspiracy by the Democrats to prevent Trump’s victory in 2016.
“He [Trump] is currently focusing on the actions of Obama, Biden and their national security advisors in the final days of his administration when they were reviewing intelligence reports on Michael Flynn”, – AP wrote.
Biden`s headquarters has sought to involve Obama in its campaign, but the coronavirus epidemic has spoiled Democrats` plans. It is noteworthy that Obama himself was not trying to play along with his vice president. He avoided open politics and very rarely criticized Trump, although the Democrats wanted more aggression from him.
“The Biden campaign sees Obama as an obvious asset, as it seeks not only to activate the Democrats, but also to poach independent and more moderate Republicans, who may fear Trump in the White House for another four years”, – the material says.
