The White House will aggressively utilize President Obama to rally support behind the Democratic Party to win the White House in 2016.

 

An unnamed Democratic strategist familiar with the administration’s plans told Bloomberg Politics on Friday that the president will hit the campaign trail to turn out young and minority voters in the race.

 

Obama’s team also anticipates he will campaign for Senate and House candidates in 2016. Democrats need a net gain of five seats to take control of the Senate.

“President Obama has both the unique ability and unique credibility to frame the stakes in the race that will be motivating to Democrats,” Geoffrey Garin, a pollster who works for the pro-Clinton Priorities USA super PAC, told Bloomberg.

The president’s plan marks a change from recent presidents, who, mired by scandal and unpopularity, have been unable or unwanted to campaign on behalf of a successor.

But other strategists have called into question the wisdom of leaning heavily on the president’s record in 2016.Scissors-32x32.png
