\u201cThere\u2019s two groups of voters that Biden needs to move,\u201d said Dan Pfeiffer, former White House communications director. \u201cYou have the 4 million Obama 2012 voters that sat out in \u201916, Obama obviously has cache with them. And you have to persuade some number of voters who voted for Barack Obama in 2012 and either Trump or a third party candidate in 2016, and Obama obviously is very, very high-performing with those as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Obama endorsed<\/a> Biden in a video message in April, but kept an otherwise low profile throughout the primary and largely avoided wading into national politics. In recent weeks, however, he’s reemerged publicly to speak out<\/a> on policing and the civil unrest that followed the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

Some Democrats say that, in the wake of Floyd’s killing, Obama’s voice as an advocate for Biden and a leader for the party is needed.<\/p>\n

\u201cBiden doesn\u2019t have the strongest record on criminal justice reform so having Obama there is helpful in reinforcing that issue,\u201d said Ben Tulchin, who polled for progressive Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven what\u2019s going on with criminal justice reform and Black Lives Matter, having the first African American president out there publicly backing Biden is extremely helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Obama’s reemergence is not without risks for Biden.<\/p>\n

For Trump\u2019s campaign, it offers an opportunity to resurface some of their favorite political attacks \u2014 charges that the Obama administration\u2019s policies undermined the American middle class and U.S. interests abroad.<\/p>\n

They believe the focus on Obama will help reinvigorate Trump\u2019s base, and remind waffling Trump voters \u2014 those considering voting for Biden, or staying home \u2014 of their dissatisfaction with the prior administration. And they see an opportunity to drive a wedge between Biden and his base by resurfacing issues from the Obama administration \u2014 like the high rate of deportations \u2014 that riled progressives during the Democratic primary.<\/p>\n

Trump campaign deputy communications director Ali Pardo said that together, Obama and Biden \u201cput \u2018kids in cages\u2019 and failed to stop China from ripping off Americans while overseeing the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression and stagnant wage growth for American workers.”<\/p>\n

Trump himself has pushed unfounded conspiracy theories about Obama, hoping to taint Biden by association.<\/p>\n

Still, Democrats say Obama is eager to take Trump on to defend his legacy in a debate over whose policies have better benefited Americans.<\/p>\n

“Trump\u2019s election just devastated the country and Obama\u2019s legacy,\u201d Tulchin said. \u201cBeating Trump is important for his legacy and important for the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biden\u2019s embrace of Obama during the Democratic primary created some headaches for the former vice president within his own party as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
