Obama Revives 'Hope' Slogan in $13M Midterm Push

Former President Barack Obama is intensifying his role as the Democratic Party's lead surrogate ahead of the 2026 midterms, reviving his 2008 'hope' slogan in new digital ads and fundraising efforts. According to CBS News, Obama has raised over $13.6 million for Democrats since last year, including $3.6 million this week for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. The DNC released a 52-second ad featuring Obama urging voters to 'turn hope into action' without naming President Trump. Obama is also planning a campaign stop in Michigan on October 24 to support Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, aiming to mobilize voters in close races.

DNC to Virtually Nominate Biden and Harris to Meet Ohio Deadline

To ensure President Joe Biden is on Ohio's general election ballot, the Democratic National Committee plans a "virtual roll call" to nominate him before the party's August convention, avoiding the state's August 7 certification deadline. This move circumvents GOP lawmakers' reluctance to pass a standalone bill for Biden's ballot access without attaching unrelated campaign finance legislation. The DNC's rules committee will vote on the virtual nomination process, which mirrors the 2020 virtual convention held during the Covid pandemic.

"Strategizing to Prevent RFK Jr. from Spoiling the Election"

President Biden's Democratic allies are mobilizing to stop Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential bid, fearing he could spoil the election for Democrats. The DNC has hired attorneys to monitor Kennedy's efforts to get on key battleground state ballots and is working to paint him as a radical conspiracy theorist. Kennedy's current double-digit standing in polls could swing outcomes in battleground states, and Democrats are concerned about a repeat of past election spoilers. Trump's allies believe independent or third-party candidates help his chances and are seeking to elevate their campaigns. Kennedy's campaign claims to be a spoiler for both Biden and Trump, while Democrats are focused on defining him to prevent him from siphoning votes from Biden.

"Biden's March Fundraising Soars to $90 Million, Trump Campaign Trails Behind"

President Biden's reelection campaign and the Democratic National Committee raised over $90 million in March, ending the first quarter with $192 million in cash on hand, while Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee raised $65.5 million with $93.1 million on hand. Biden's campaign emphasized the historic fundraising, with 96% of donations being less than $200, allowing for major advertising campaigns and mobilization efforts.
