President Obama Says He Would Have Defeated Trump For A Third Term If He Had Contested

The POTUS, Barack Obama says he would have won the seat for the third time had he contested with the business mogul turned politician, Donald Trump.
In an interview broadcast on Monday that he would have won most Americans’ support if he had been able to run against Donald Trump for a third term.

“I am confident in this vision because I’m confident that … if I had run again and articulated it, I think I could’ve mobilised a majority of the American people to rally behind it.”

The outgoing president made the comments as part of an extensive interview with David Axelrod, for his podcast produced by CNN and the University of Chicago.
“I know that in conversations that I’ve had with people around the country, even some people who disagreed with me, they would say the vision, the direction that you point towards is the right one,”
Obama acknowledged that Democrats and progressives face political challenges, especially in rural areas. He said:

“If we can’t find some way to break through what is a complicated history in the South and start winning races there and winning back Southern white voters without betraying our commitment to civil rights and diversity — if we can do those things, then we can win elections,”.
