Barack Obama announced his official endorsements for candidates running in November’s midterm elections — a list that included 22 openly LGBTQ+ candidates, reflecting the former president’s quiet push back against the hostility of the Trump administration towards the community.
“Today, I’m proud to endorse even more Democratic candidates who aren’t just running against something,” wrote Obama on Twitter, “but for something — to expand opportunity for all of us and to restore dignity, honor, and compassion to public service. They deserve your vote.”
Hey, have you registered to vote?
