Former President Barack Obama has been hosting left-wing Democratic lawmakers to advise them on how to campaign, according to a Thursday Politico column.
Obama has been intermittently involved in politics since leaving office in 2017, having campaigned for then-candidate Joe Biden’s election in 2020 and for multiple congressional candidates in the 2022 midterms.
Among the members that Obama has met with include Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Maxwell Frost of Florida, Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey and Haley Stevens of Michigan. The alleged purpose of the conversations was to enable Obama to “keep current with his party’s rising stars,” per the report.
