REPORT: Obama Preparing to Step Up Efforts to Resist Trump — ‘Not So Sure’ Country Will Survive His Presidency

Barack Obama is ready to throw his hat back into the political fray.
According to CNN, the two-time former president is “not so sure” that the country will survive Donald Trump’s presidency and is preparing to step up his campaigning efforts in support of the Democratic Party.
Their report states:
After deliberately stepping back during the Biden years — while remaining the party’s biggest fundraiser even then — Obama and his aides are reworking his longstanding strategy of minimizing his public presence to allow the next generation of Democrats to emerge.
Trump’s moves to block Democrats from power since his return to the White House and his calls to indict or shut down liberal institutions might, Obama fears, deny that next generation the chance.
…
Hitting the campaign trail for moderate gubernatorial candidates, as Obama is scheduled to do in back-to-back stops on Saturday for Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Abigail Spanberger in Virginia, is the easy part for the former president.
It’s what to do every other day of the year, and each of the years to come, that he’s been struggling with, according to CNN’s conversations with two dozen top Democratic officials and operatives, as well as several friends who have spoken with the former president since Trump returned to office.
The story quotes former Democratic attorney general Eric Holder, a close friend of the former president, as saying that Trump’s “harm is so profound that this calls for both a different approach generally, and a different involvement specifically by President Obama.”
“If we are focused, if we’re willing to engage, if we are willing to do the work, the nation and our democracy can survive this,” he explained.
“There will be damage done along the way — there’s no question about that. We won’t win every battle.”
