“Kamala Harris is ready for this moment,” Michelle Obama said at the conference. “She is one of the most qualified people to seek a presidency ever, and she is one of the most dignified people – paying tribute to her mother, my mother, and your mother, and it is also an embodiment of the story we tell ourselves about this country.”
Meanwhile, Democratic strategists predict that Barack Obama’s influence on the Democratic Party is weakening, and some suggest he stay connected with Trump’s appeal.

“Obama’s characteristic embellishment virtues have been fully demonstrated,” Burgess wrote to MSNBC in December 2024. “He was a former Constitutional Professor of He still sounded like one. At the same time, he is a generation of talent for a political communicator. He knows how to convey a complex set of ideas in a digestible and appealing way.”
“But there is a huge open hole in his speech center,” said the specialist editor. “He still doesn’t understand why his eight years of power have reached its peak in Trump’s rise.”
“Fight” details how Trump kept the White House for a second term and the consequences of his victory in the Democratic Party. According to the book’s description, it is based on interviews by Allen and Parns, with more than 150 political insiders.
