By Andrea Widburg
Everybody knows that Barack Obama was the guiding force behind the 2020 election. Heck, he’s been the guiding force behind much of the last four years, including weaponizing the federal government against Donald Trump by setting up the Russia Hoax. As the Democrats’ éminence grise, what Obama has to say about politicians vying for power within the party matters.

There’s a new book out – once that Amazon’s sure to carry – called Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency, by Amie Parnes and Jonathan Allen. According to The Hill, the book recounts an October 2019 meeting that Obama held in New York City with Black donors. He was pushing them hard to support Elizabeth Warren, even though the corporate donors were worried about Warren’s attacks on wealthy people.
