“The tutelary figure on the Democratic side”: what essential role did Barack Obama play in Kamala Harris’ campaign?

Nicolas Baygert. Doctor in information sciences, professor at Sciences Po and at ULB was Martin Buxant’s guest this morning on bel RTL. He returned to the end of the American presidential campaign.

In this American presidential campaign, we noted the ultra presence of Barack Obama, the former president, alongside Kamala Harris. .

“It’s true that it’s a campaign that has been locked down, framed by the major figures of the Democratic Party and in particular by Barack Obama, also by his wife, Michelle Obama”explained Nicolas Baygert. Doctor in information sciences and professor at Sciences Po Paris and ULB. He was Martin Buxant’s guest this morning on bel RTL.

He explained that the former president played an important role in this race for the presidency of the United States.

“We saw a Barack Obama who occasionally reframed, including Democratic electorateshe continued. It was positive for Kamala Harris to have this sort of father figure, almost, of Barack Obama, leaning over her. So, it’s true that Barack Obama still represents today the tutelary figure on the Democratic side. There is a sort of nostalgia for the Obama years. And so, obviously, it was a choice reinforcement who, in a way, was the counterpart of Elon Musk on the Republican side, since he is someone, ultimately, who has, as an opinion leader, always a very important influence on the Democratic side in the United States.”
