Former President Barack Obama is once again stepping in to help President Biden secure votes and money as his campaign for the White House nears its end.
Obama will be making a second appearance in Biden’s rematch with former President Trump. Obama’s fame and standing among Democratic donors have helped Biden’s finances and public image at a time when the president is facing more questions about his record, plans, and mental health.
“I take great pride in what the Biden administration has accomplished,” Obama said during a recent event with Biden and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. “And it’s a reminder that we don’t have to just vote against something in this election. We have someone to worry about. And there’s a whole agenda that we should be concerned about.”
He continued, “But we can take pride in affirming the extraordinary work that Joe has done. And we want to make sure that we build on that and then pass it on to the next president rather than have a president who wants to reverse the progress that has been made.”
