Former President Barack Obama is stepping back into the spotlight after President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive 312 to 226 Electoral College victory last month, raising questions about his role in the Democratic Party moving forward.

Obama is participating in a conversation with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel about her new book at the Anthem in Washington, D.C., on Monday. Merkel’s book offers an extensive list of complaints about Trump in her new memoir, describing her experience working with him in an unflattering light.
