<p style="font-weight: 400;">Barack Obama is “nervous about his legacy” after President-elect Donald Trump’s historic victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, the former president&#8217;s biographer said.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“He has been and remains extremely concerned and nervous about his historical legacy,” said David Garrow, who wrote the 2017 biography, “Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama.&#8221; “That has certainly taken a big hit with Trump once again triumphing.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The conclusion for Democrats is that they&#8217;ve got to dispense with these people from the past, including Hillary Clinton too, and move to a new generation of figures who are not in the AOC club at all,” Garrow added.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Garrow cited Obama and his wife, Michelle, lecturing voters as they campaigned for Vice President Kamala Harris, telling <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14060451/obama-biographer-legacy-fear-tone-deaf-kamala-harris.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Mail</a>, “People do not want to be talked down to, no matter who they are. &#8230; I thought it was tone-deaf and clueless for them to preach as they did. &#8230; I would expect that perception will be shared by lots of people. If so, I think it reduces their relevance to Bill Clinton territory.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Even before last night, I was of the quite strong belief that the tone and condescension with which both Barack and Michelle spoke, particularly towards black men, was self-defeating to the point of backfire,” Garrow posited.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">On October 11, at a local Harris campaign office in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Obama criticized black men for not displaying the same &#8220;energy and turnout&#8221; for Harris they showed when he ran.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;You&#8217;re coming up with all kinds of reasons and excuses,&#8221; Obama said. &#8220;I’ve got a problem with that, because part of it makes me think — I’m speaking to men directly — part of it makes me think that, well, you just aren’t feeling the idea of having a woman as president, and you’re coming up with other alternatives and other reasons for that.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Some black men took offense to Obama’s remarks.</p>

<p>During an October rally in Kalamazoo, Michelle Obama made similar <a href="https://singjupost.com/full-transcript-michelle-obamas-speech-at-a-rally-in-michigan/?singlepage=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">remarks about men</a> in general, saying she did not &#8220;expect any man to fully grasp how vulnerable&#8221; the election makes women feel.</p>
<p>&#8220;So fellas, before you cast your votes, ask yourself, what side of history do you want to be on? Now I recognize that there are a lot of angry disillusioned people out there upset with the slow pace of change,&#8221; Michelle Obama said. &#8220;So are you as men prepared to look into the eyes of the women and children you love and tell them that you supported this assault on our safety?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“Certainly at the margins, I think they both harmed her,” Garrow said of the Obamas’ effect on Harris’s chances.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“He still has the celebrity factor of being an ex-president,” Garrow insisted, adding that he surmised the Obamas would &#8220;continue to hang out with celebrities and live on Martha&#8217;s Vineyard.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Still, Garrow predicts Trump&#8217;s victory will change some things for the Obamas.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I certainly expect them to be spending less time in Washington after early January,&#8221; he said.</p>
