Obama pushes Democrats to 'toughen up'

Former President Barack Obama implored fellow Democrats to “toughen up” at a private fundraiser in New Jersey as his party attempts to rebuild its coalition in President Donald Trump’s second term.

“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said, according to excerpts the Washington Examiner obtained of the Democratic National Committee fundraiser.
