Obama jumps in to help Biden defeat Trump again

Barack Obama spent several hours last Friday in the family dining room of the White House, visiting his former vice president, Joe Biden. The occasion was hardly just two old friends catching up.

Obama has made clear to associates in recent months that he believes Biden’s intensifying re-match with Donald Trump in November will be incredibly close, and that the 2024 election marks an “all-hands-on-deck” moment, people familiar with his thinking told CNN. To that end, his return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue last week was largely a working visit.

Biden and Obama, along with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, participated in an organizing call in the White House residence heralding the 14th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act. “We have the chance to do even more, but that only happens if we send Joe and Kamala back to the White House in November,” Obama said in the video. “So, we’ve got to keep working.”

The campaign also recorded other content featuring the two presidents, sources said, that they plan to roll out in the coming weeks. Obama and Biden speak with regularity, sources said, and the former president remains in direct contact with some top White House officials, including Biden’s chief of staff, Jeff Zients, who worked in the Obama administration.

down more than inviting his family to White house. 12 million or more people watched his reply to state of the union on tik tok and more on youtube and other sites.

It's going to take more than normal campaigning. They need to think out of the box. Instead of saying they will change pot soon they need to find a way to do it, same with gaza. Same with food prices, they have the capacity to set prices of certain things.

I love President Obama and he should fundraise and go out on the road supporting President Biden. But the high/ low thing won't work. It is not 2012. Roe Roe your vote.
