According to most surveys, Joe Biden’s discharge rating hovers around 40 percent, which is far from ideal. That’s why a week and a day before the midterm election — in which control of the Senate and House of Representatives are at stake — Biden has been sacked by the party for speaking to party donors at some events in the Washington area (where it is still very strong).
But in the emptiness created by Biden’s absence from campaigns across the country, a familiar face has reappeared: Barack Obama, The former president (and former boss of the current president) is arguably the most influential figure in the Democratic Party. And they have decided to use that power to support their candidates.
The Obama team was flooded with requests to appear at various campaign events across the country. Of course, he can’t go to all of them, but for those who can’t appear in person, he has recorded audio for television, for programs, or for use in radio commercials.
