Is Obama trying to get back into politics?
Former President Barack Obama is returning to the spotlight this Friday night in New Jersey, headlining a major Democrat fundraiser as the party faces growing internal turmoil and financial collapse following President Donald Trump’s dominant 2024 victory.
The high-priced event—hosted by the Democratic National Committee—marks Obama’s first major political appearance since Trump defeated Kamala Harris and reclaimed the White House with a clear national majority. The DNC is now scrambling for money and unity as the 2026 elections loom.
According to Axios, the fundraiser is a response to urgent warnings from Democrat insiders. A recent New York Times exposé declared the DNC is “in chaos and desperate for cash,” as wealthy donors grow frustrated and divided leadership fails to present a clear strategy.
Joining Obama on stage will be DNC Chairman Ken Martin, outgoing New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, and Rep. Mikie Sherrill—who is eyeing the New Jersey governor’s seat. The event is branded as a “dinner and discussion,” but its true purpose is clear: Democrats are turning to Obama to patch the holes in a sinking ship.
The fundraiser has already sold out, with all proceeds funneled directly to the struggling Democratic National Committee. Party leaders hope the cash infusion can help salvage credibility ahead of the 2026 midterms—but critics argue the reliance on Obama proves how little confidence there is in today’s Democrat leadership.
Obama’s fundraising resume is well known: he reportedly brought in $85 million for Democrats in 2024 and raised a staggering $750 million during his own 2008 presidential run. But many conservative voters see this as more proof that Democrats are stuck in the past—while President Trump and the Republican Party are surging forward with bold leadership and growing grassroots momentum.
As the DNC clings to old names and familiar faces, Americans are watching closely. The question now is whether Democrat donors will keep writing checks—or whether they’re finally done funding failure.
WE JUST WISH THAT OBAMA WOULD STAY OUT OF POLITICS AND THE LIMELIGHT.
ALL HE EVER ACCOMPLISHED WAS TO DEVIDE OUR COUNTRY WITH RACE HATE. OBAMA WAS THE WORST PRESIDENT WE EVER HAD. WHO ELECTED THIS GUY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
OF COURSE HA HATES TRUMP. BECAUSE TRUMP HAS INTELLIGENCE WHILE OBAMA HAS ZERO, ALL OBAMA EVER BROUGHT TO THE TABLE WAS PROPAGANDA AND OUTRIGHT HATE FOR AMERICA AND OUR CITIZENS. PLEASE TELL THIS THUG TO JUST GO AWAY BACK UNDER A ROCK HENCE HE CAME FROM.
AMERICANS VOTED FOR TRUMP. KNOWING HE COULD AND WOULD FIX ALL THE BIG MISTAKES DEMOCRATS MADE. THEIR GOAL IS TO DESTROY AMERICA. OUR WAY OF LIFE, INSTEAD OF TAKING CARE OF OUR CHILDREN OUR ELDERLY THEY ROLLED OUT THE RED CARPET FOR ILLEGAL INVADERS , SPENDET BILLIONS ON THEM FOR SHELTER IN BIG HOTELS IN NEW YORK.
