Barack Obama has been left fearing for his political legacy after Kamala Harris’s defeat, The Daily Mail reports.

According to author David Garrow, a Pulitzer Prize winner who wrote a book about Obama in 2017, the former president’s “tone-deaf and clueless” rhetoric during the campaign may have reduced his stature to “Bill Clinton levels.”

“People do not want to be talked down to, no matter who they are,” Garrow said, clearly referring to Obama’s hectoring message for young black men to “step up” and vote for Kamala Harris.

“I thought it was tone-deaf and clueless for them to preach as they did.”

Garrow predicted that Obama’s reputation would suffer a significant hit in the long term, and that he and his wife, Michelle, might end up disappearing from the political scene altogether.

“He has been and remains extremely concerned and nervous about his historical legacy. That has certainly taken a big hit with Trump once again triumphing.”

“The conclusion for Democrats is that they’ve got to dispense with these people from the past, including Hillary Clinton too, and move to a new generation of figures who are not in the AOC club at all,” Garrow added.

Although the Obamas might now have to step back from active involvement in politics, Garrow still believes they will be in demand as celebrity speakers.

Barack Obama was one of the key players in the removal of Joe Biden from the presidential race.

According to journalist Seymour Hersch, Obama, with the support of Pelosi and other key Democrat big dogs, threatened Biden with the 25th Amendment if he didn’t step aside.

“It’s not surprising that the long overdue unraveling of President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign happened when it became impossible to keep his increasing impairment covered up,” Hersch wrote on Substack.

“It was the big-time money backers of the Democratic Party who called off the game of see no evil, hear no evil, after Biden’s shocking performance in his June debate with Donald Trump. They balked at continuing to give millions of dollars to the party now that there was evidence that the president is not always there.”

Hersch describes in detail the manoeuvring that took place behind the scenes, as well as publicly with the support of celebrities like George Clooney, to get the President to hand over the campaign to Kamala Harris.

“By Saturday, July 20, former President Barack Obama was deeply involved, and there was talk that he would place a call to Biden,” Hersch explains.

He describes how a well-placed official told him that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries plotted with Obama to invoke the 25th Amendment, leading to a phone call with Biden in which the former president said, “Here’s the deal. We have Kamala’s approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.”

However, Obama was slow to endorse Kamala Harris as Biden’s replacement, and this is now also being held against him .

Lindy Li, the Women’s Co-Chair and Mid-Atlantic Regional Chair at the Democratic National Committee, told Fox News this week that Obama’s failure to endorse Harris immediately was “the silence heard around the world.”
