Former President Barack Obama is regarded by his adoring fans in the “news” media as the ultimate surrogate for their shared political party. He’s the “Closer.” Never mind that Obama has amassed a very dodgy record of actually delivering electoral success for any Democrat not named “Barack Obama.”
During his presidency, Republicans gained 63 House seats in the 2010 midterm elections, then netted a whopping nine Senate seats four years later. He couldn’t drag Hillary Clinton over the finish line at the tail end of his Oval Office tenure. His hectoring of young black men on behalf of Kamala Harris in 2024 fell flat, or even backfired.
