Former President Barack Obama’s influence within the Democratic Party has waned following the party’s political setback in the 2024 election. Despite Obama’s support for Kamala Harris, the outcome saw Donald Trump securing a decisive Electoral College victory, along with a popular vote win, marking a significant blow to the Democrats. Many within the party now question the reliance on past leaders and strategies that failed to resonate with key battleground states. In response, Democratic governors have formed a coalition, seeking new leadership and a shift away from traditional power structures. With the 2026 midterms and 2028 presidential race on the horizon, the party faces a pivotal moment to redefine its message and rebuild its foundation.
