Former President Barack Obama has entered the political fray ahead of November's special election in California, accusing Republicans of attempting to "rig the next election"

Obama’s comments appear in a new video supporting Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50 which would allow the California legislature to draw new congressional boundaries ahead of the midterms

Barack Obama has entered the political fray ahead of November’s special election in California, accusing Republicans of attempting to “rig the next election” in a new ad backing Governor Gavin Newsom’s Proposition 50, a ballot measure that could reshape the state’s congressional map.

“Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years,” Obama says in the 30-second ad, urging voters to approve the proposal. “You can stop Republicans in their tracks.”

    I think USAmericans gotta hit the streets, now, yelling “We won’t vote for Gruesome Newsom” just in case we do get a 2028 Election. If we don’t destroy his campaign now, he’ll be ushered to the front of the Democratic Primary like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden.

      Sounds like aborting the fetus of opposition before it reaches viability.

      The left has NEVER been in control of the Democratic Party.

      Correct option is getting DSA candidates more light and having DSA candidates running as Dems.

        Yup. Let’s convince Biden to step down at the last possible second, and then surprised Pikachu face when the nominee is Kamala and then they don’t vote.

        Cool. Let’s have another Biden-esque presidency that just leaves Americans unsatisfied to the point where they come out en-masse and vote for Vance because “it was better under the prior administration” until they realize that, whoops! they aren’t actually better under Vance, but now it’s too late.

        Voting Biden in 2020 as a transitional candidate obviously wasn’t the right move. Establishment Dems are the reason the non-political Americans get rallied against “the Left”. All that figures like Biden and Newsom do is empower “both sides” political apathy.
