Breitbart News reports:
Barack Obama Alleges Republicans Aim to ‘Steal’ Seats, ‘Rig’ Elections in Support of Newsom’s Gerrymandering Initiative
Former President Barack Obama, alongside California Governor Gavin Newsom, is making a push for Californians to endorse Proposition 50. This contentious ballot measure seeks to substitute the current independent redistricting framework with a legislative map, one that is anticipated to abolish a number of Republican-controlled congressional districts.
On Tuesday, Newsom shared a compelling message on X, stating, “Listen to @barackobama,” linking to a newly released video featuring Obama rallying support for Proposition 50 ahead of the November 4 special election.
In the video presentation, Obama asserts:
“California, the whole nation is counting on you. Democracy is on the ballot November 4. Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. With Prop 50, you can stop Republicans in their tracks. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, which preserves Independent Redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. Return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.”

However, not all are receptive to this advertisement and its underlying message:
Maybe in California this guy still has credibility, but the rest of the nation has caught on to his phony baloney. “Unchecked power” — that’s what we’ve got with the Dem super majorities in Sacramento. Say No to Prop 50. https://t.co/23XgEYiRh0

How about no @GavinNewsom. @BarackObama is old and washed up. His “Eloquent” lies don’t affect us anymore. https://t.co/lu0zAypqKl

It’s no secret that the left-wing lunatics still take their marching orders from Barack Hussein Obama, the second worst president in U.S. history, only behind Sleepy Joe Biden that was incoherent for 4 years. https://t.co/zuPCFrL792

No. We put up with his communist bullshit for 8 years—12 if you consider his 3rd term from 2020-2024. https://t.co/IO1D2zi6FL

As the discourse unfolds, Obama appears increasingly as a figure eager to preserve a grasp on political power for his party.
