Like Kamala Harris isn't going to let her sister run her Presidential campaign? Well, she's got four years to learn how to do it better. That's probably enough.OscarGuy wrote
Let's hope they don't let her sister anywhere near the electoral operations.
I posted this on Twitter but when was the last time one person had so much influencer over his party for such a period of time? When a President leaves office, they're usually spent, toxic, or elderly. Obama was none of these things. He served two terms left with high approval ratings, then his Secretary of State won the popular vote but controversially missed out on the presidency (I understand that she is from a different era but she certainly campaigned on a third Obama term rather than a return to the Clinton 90's). Then we had a slight but loud identity crisis within the party, which has now been thoroughly settled. All snarky comments will be ignored -- The future of the Democratic Party does not belong to Bernie Sanders. There isn't going to be a President Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This is Barack Obama's Party, and his Vice President is set to win this fall, and after that his Vice President's Vice President (and Harris is clearly an Obama Democrat) is set to run in 2024 -- and I don't think it's too early to speculate on that as Joe Biden has campaigned on being both a Return to Normalcy AND a transitional figure to the future of the party. And Biden has already said that he views Democrats like Pete Buttigieg to be the future of the party. It's not impossible to see a Harris/Buttigieg ticket in the future. (THAT'S too much speculation).
My point is when we evaluate Barack Obama's legacy, it's no longer going to be confined to his two terms. To paraphrase Joe Biden, he is a big fucking deal.
