US midterms: Progressives rally behind war criminal Obama’s attacks on Trump
Joseph Massad10/30/2026

Former US President Barack Obama is on the campaign trail to support Democratic Party candidates. In speeches in Ohio and Michigan, he has condemned the Trump administration for policies not unlike the ones he pursued in office. A Harvard Youth Poll published last week found that two-thirds of registered young voters disapprove of the Democratic Party 's performance in Congress, while nearly two-thirds of young Democrats want an end to US military aid to Israel . Democrats and so-called progressives are nonetheless deploying Obama to win support for their candidates, despite his own abysmal record.
