At the Democratic National Convention held earlier this year in Chicago, the former first lady delivered a plain-spoken speech blaming Trump for employing fear tactics to gain power.

Obama’s first campaign appeareance raised concerns and criticisms as he addressed a portion of Black men who were hesitant to see a female taking the chair of a President.
According to critics, Obama's remarks could estrange a pivotal segment of loyal Democratic Party supporters. This might distance voters from the party, who may be confused about their choices but are still open to persuasion.
Being one of the earliest supported of Barack Obama in the 2008 Presidential election, now the Democrat candidate enjoyes immense backing from him behind the scenes as she goes on to lead the party in the 2024 presidential race.
Some believe that the former president, Barack Obama, has played a part in persuading Joe Biden to step down, following concerns over the 81 year old’s performance and his June debate with Trump.
