Former President Obama announced a slew of campaign endorsements on Wednesday, endorsing dozens of Democrats nationwide while keeping his distance from several high-profile battles.
The former president endorsed a list of 81 Democratic candidates running at nearly every level of government, including notable endorsements for California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, Ohio's Richard Cordray and Georgia's Stacey Abrams (D), who are all running for governor in their respective states.
The list only includes one endorsement for a Democratic Senate nominee, Rep. Jacky Rosen (Nev.), who is running to replace Sen. Dean Heller (R-Nev.). No incumbents were included on the list, which and Obama spokesman said was mainly meant to boost challengers and newer candidates.
Notable candidates not on the list include Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D), who gained a shocking primary victory over longtime Rep. Joseph Crowley (D) in New York and is favored to win the general election in November.
Also not on the list is Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas), who is running within 2 points of incumbent Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) in a recent poll of November's Senate race. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), who faces a primary challenge from actress and activist Cynthia Nixon, was also not on the list.
Obama said in a statement that the chosen Democratic candidates would be called upon to restore America's standing around the world.
“I’m proud to endorse such a wide and impressive array of Democratic candidates — leaders as diverse, patriotic, and big-hearted as the America they’re running to represent,” said the former president.
"I’m confident that, together, they’ll strengthen this country we love by restoring opportunity that’s broadly shared, repairing our alliances and standing in the world, and upholding our fundamental commitment to justice, fairness, responsibility, and the rule of law."
Democrats need to pick up 23 House seats and two Senate seats in November to retake both chambers of Congress. A recent poll showed Democrats with a 7-point edge over Republicans in a generic House ballot.
Hussein’s endorsement is usually the kiss of death for a candidate.

“Obama said in a statement that the chosen Democratic candidates would be called upon to restore America’s standing around the world.”
You mean they’ll go back to calling us “Uncle Sucker”?
No mention of Democratic candidates who want to make AMERICA great again.
There, fixed it!
IF this racist, jug-eared, faggy, twit had a single ounce of sense, he’d be keeping his mouth shut and staying out of the country.
Yeah, odongo, your track record is so great. Go ahead and campaign for these losers.
He and moochie supposedly did with their besties “bey” and j-z the other night and danced while one of them performed “Ni**as in Paris”. Awesome huh?
Does he really have a following?
HA! They’ve told junior he’s still radioactive.
When are we, the American people and voters going to treated to Obama, the campaigner in person leading the faithful scum & vermin of the Democrat Party to victory, this coming November. So far, we have seen nothing of Obama in person. Where, oh where, is the Kenyan, Obama, the savior of the Democrat Party?
Shucks, forgive me, I forgot, Obama is the true death kiss for any candidate he endorses!!!
