I see @BarackObama not only throwing his weight behind candidates who could use the endorsement, but also backing a mix of people that look like the America that his successor alternatively resists, scapegoats, victimizes, and ignores. It is a statement. n.pr/2OBZBlR
I am curious to see whom Obama endorses next, however. Though @Ocasio2018 would surely accept his backing, she doesn’t need it to win. It is about who needs him. Would he help a @BenJealous, or an @AbdulElSayed? Or even a primary candidate like @AyannaPressley or @MahlonMitchell?
It matters that @BarackObama included @staceyabrams in his first wave of endorsements. It may seem now like an easy choice. But she is facing some stark realities in Georgia. I wrote about how she is confronting them in the August issue of @RollingStone. rol.st/2Oajgck
