Obama addressed anxieties over the crowded field of Democratic candidates by encouraging voters to rally "behind whoever emerges from this process."
Speaking at a fundraiser in California, the former president attempted to address anxieties over the crowded field of candidates, saying, “Everyone needs to chill out about the candidates, but gin up about the prospect of rallying behind whoever emerges from this process.”His comments come days after he advised"politically woke" young people not to be so judgmental, and for Democrats to be"rooted in reality.
His latest message comes one day after 10 Democratic candidates took the stage in Atlanta for the fifth primary debate. “The ultimate goal is to defeat a president and a party that has, I think, taken a sharp turn away from a lot of the core traditions and values and institutional commitments that built this country,” he stated.
"The field will narrow and there's going to be one person and if that is not your perfect candidate and there are certain aspects of what they say that you don't agree with and you don't find them completely inspiring the way you'd like, I don't care. The choice is so stark," Obama stated bluntly when comparing the potential candidate against President Donald Trump.
