    Does a Trump victory end Obama's influence?

      Was he the one behind VP Harris being the nominee? If not, then he may go, "told you so".

      I think in general, if they want to, ex Presidents can continue to have some influence.

      Others, like George Bush #2 are happy to move on with their lives and stay away from politics.

        I'm not sure about Harris. it's widely rumored Biden was made to put her on the ticket.

        It's also rumored that Obama did not want her as the Presidential nominee.

          All she had was the VP spot. She was terrible in the 2020 primaries.

            Clyburn wasn't going to endorse Senile Joe unless he picked a black woman.
