If we want our democracy to function, we have to show up this election for the Governors, Secretaries of State and the candidates down the ballot who are going to protect voting rights and our electoral process. Because these seats wield a lot of power, and that power matters. pic.twitter.com/D6ehzPunRi

Democrats: Up And Down The Ballot

We've only got 20 days to go until Election Day – and we've got to vote for @JoeBiden and Democrats up and down the ballot. I talked to @PodSaveAmerica about this election, the 2020 Census, and the role we can all play to create change in the months ahead. https://t.co/NexTlkfm7a

Obama to Pod Save America: "Basic competence can end up saving lives … You might not have been happy with everything I did, all my policy choices. I didn't eliminate poverty in America. But when we had a pandemic, or the threat of pandemic, we had competent people in place."

.@BarackObama on Pod Save America: “I think that if you continue to see the kind of systematic rejection of even reasonable compromise there, there comes a point at which you just have to change how the system works. The filibuster would be one.”https://t.co/OtE6MEfxyU pic.twitter.com/FV6uBFjPI4

“We’ve always believed in the value of entertaining, thought-provoking conversation,” President Obama said in a statement provided by Spotify. “It helps us build connections with each other and open ourselves up to new ideas. We’re excited about Higher Ground Audio because podcasts offer an extraordinary opportunity to foster productive dialogue, make people smile and make people think, and, hopefully, bring us all a little closer together.”

Michelle Obama said, “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to amplify voices that are too often ignored or silenced altogether, and through Spotify, we can share those stories with the world. Our hope is that through compelling, inspirational storytelling, Higher Ground Audio will not only produce engaging podcasts, but help people connect emotionally and open up their minds — and their hearts.”
