Obama Makes First Return to White House as Crises Mount for Biden

President 👤Joe Biden is betting that a dose of nostalgia will give his sagging poll numbers a shot in the arm as former President Barack Obama visits the White House on Tuesday afternoon.

The trip will be Obama’s first return to the inside of the official presidential residence since he left office in 2017, according to The Hill.

Ostensibly, the former president will be at the White House to praise one of his signature programs: Obamacare.

Obama will “deliver remarks celebrating the success of the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid in extending affordable health insurance to millions of Americans,” a White House official said, according to Fox News.

“The runaway top issue on people’s minds is cost of living, and health care is at the top of this list,” David Axelrod, Obama’s chief political adviser, said, according to The Washington Post.

“If you want to get attention on this issue, bringing Obama back … to talk about what they’ve done together, and what he is trying to do, is a good strategic move,” he said.

Democratic strategist Eddie Vale predicted “a good event and a good speech as one always gets from Obama.”
