Our man Barack returning to political arena...yippee..

Former President Obama plans to return to the political spotlight this fall by hitting the campaign trail for Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, the Democratic nominee running for Virginia governor.

This will be Obama’s first time campaigning since he left the White House and stumped for Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, Obama and Northam’s offices confirmed to the Huffington Post.

The Virginia governor’s race has been on Democrats’ radar since it’s only one of two statewide races this year. Democrats are hoping backlash for President Trump will mobilize the base and help the party maintain their hold on the governor’s mansion.
