Former President Obama is gearing up for an active role in the upcoming election, with plans for a series of rallies, video recordings, ads, and online content to support Democratic candidates. Sources familiar with Obama's strategy suggest that these efforts will make this election season his most active since his own campaign.

Obama has been in close communication with top Democrats, including Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, expressing concern over Donald Trump's influence on the country's politics. While he acknowledges the challenge of reaching Trump's supporters, Obama remains focused on mobilizing enough votes in key states to counter their impact.

If Biden emerges victorious, Obama is expected to feel vindicated and may finally transition into the post-presidency phase he has been anticipating. However, there is speculation among Obama's inner circle that a Trump reelection could cast Obama as the anomaly in American political history, rather than Trump and his controversial leadership.

Over the past eight years, Obama's supporters have grappled with the rise of Trump as a perceived backlash to Obama's presidency. As the election approaches, Obama is intensifying his efforts to influence the outcome and shape the future political landscape.
