Former President Barack Obama is expected to hit the campaign trail this fall to advocate for Democratic candidates running for the House, Senate and in gubernatorial races, CNBC reported late Wednesday.
According to three sources familiar with the matter who spoke with CNBC, Obama will operate off the guidance of Democratic leadership — House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
No timeline or specific locations have been decided on yet, but two sources familiar with the Obama team’s plan told CNBC that he will start in September.
In recent weeks, Obama has been criticized for remaining relatively silent on President Donald Trump’s attempts to dismantle his predecessor’s legacy, particularly on issues related to the Trump administration’s immigrant family separation policy.

Former President Barack Obama is expected to hit the campaign trail this fall to advocate for Democratic candidates running for the House, Senate and in gubernatorial races, CNBC reported late Wednesday.
Those bashing President Obama for staying silent have a LOT of audacity.
We black voters didn’t forget idiots like Rachel Maddow and her fake Oval Office lecture.
I remember Ed Schultz being on MSNBC telling white liberals not to vote
in the 2010 midterms cause Obama made a compromise deal to keep the
government open. Ed now shills for a Russian owned outlet.
Obama literally said during his victory speech in 2008 that the hard work wasn’t done and just beginning and white liberals instead listened to Bill Maher wanting a more “gangsta” President in his first term. it’s annoying the crap out of me.
Watching folks rewrite the history of Obama’s first term. He went after Healthcare against all odds and with FIERCE opposition, sometimes from his own party.
That “super majority” people like to quote was filled with “Blue Dog Democrats” who might as well been republicans.
Didn’t help that white liberals expected Obama to literally undo not just 8 years of terrible policy by Bush but…let’s be real, terrible policies from Bill Clinton.
Let’s also remember
the public option in health care
Obama in the midterms
You don’t get to blame Obama for not saving a party that actively ran
away from his help.
Maddow and her likes treated Obama like a boy. We didn’t forget.
Imbeciles like her and her ilks always want someone else to clean up their messes.
NOTHING Obama did was ever good enough for smug racist fake “ally” like Bernie Sanders. We remembered in 2016 and we will again in 2020…
Obama was forced to use executive orders cause you vocal white liberals didn’t
vote in midterms. Then when given another chance in 2016, you crapped the
bed again and this isn’t me saying Obama was perfect. He’s a US President. of course he has all the issues that come with that
but i’m tired of seeing folks completely rewrite history and act like Democrats didn’t shoot themselves in the foot by running away from him in 2010. Wendy Davis comes to mind. We did NOT forget.
Obama told Democrats “vote for Healthcare reform and I’ll be there to
help you” and Democrats instead blinked when the Tea Party came and ran
away from him
They got wiped out while he then coasted to another victory in 2012
One of those 60 votes for Democrats was literally an Independent that ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNED FOR JOHN MCCAIN AGAINST OBAMA and then changed his mind on the public option cause “liberals were too happy”. His name is Joe Lieberman. We did NOT forget.
President Obama owes the BernieOrBust and JilNotHill crowd NOTHING. They are scum.
We WON’T forget that SABOTEUR Bernie Sanders either in 2020.
Go clean up your own mess because Obama is not your work mule or your slave.
This will have some good impact, especially since people have been starved for his presence!
This is the worrying part. I wouldn’t go to Schumer for advice on which subway train to catch. I’d get lost.
