As President, I would read 10 letters a day sent to me by ordinary Americans. At the Obama Presidential Center, we’ll have some of the letters I read — and responded to — every night. I still get emotional reading them, and it’s one of my favorite exhibits.
Honored to be part of the human chain that submitted over 560,000 signatures (including some I collected) for Michiganders for Money Out of Politics!
Just did this three times in a 30-minute span lol (now four times in 45 minutes)

I’d hate to be Mike Rogers right now. Rogers lost a US Senate race in 2024 despite it being a great year for Michigan Republicans. He’s running again in 2026, which is shaping up to be a horrible year for his party.

Could be a second ballot in the Democratic race for Secretary of State.
