Jihadist Leprechaun: Obama Campaigns for El-Sayed

It has been nearly a decade since President Barack Obama left office, yet he has remained an active presence on the campaign trail ever since, lending his support to Democrat candidates in elections across the country. In 2016, during his final year in office, Obama campaigned vigorously for Hillary Clinton, hoping she would succeed him. She lost. In 2024, he threw his support behind Kamala Harris, but she, too, was defeated. In between, Obama campaigned for numerous Democrat candidates, with mixed results. Now, as the 2026 midterm elections approach, the former president is once again hitting the campaign trail, rallying support for Democrats in closely contested races. Does Obama still have the political appeal and influence to help these candidates win, and how are some of the candidates he is supporting challenging his longstanding reputation as a centrist Democrat? Join the conversation and get answers to these questions and more on According2Sam episode #451.
