Obama supports 260 Democrats in the second wave of mid-term endorsements

Former President Obama on Monday launched a second round of mid-term endorsement, supporting 260 Democrats in both upward and downward races.

The announcement was made two months after the former president issued his first recommendations regarding the 2018 election cycle, supporting 81 candidates for runs to governor, deputy in the House, Senate and to the legislature of a state across the country.

However, some prominent Democratic candidates did not appear on the list released Monday, including Rep.

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum, engaged in a close battle for the Florida Governor's Mansion, and Ben Jealous, who is seeking to overthrow Maryland Republican Governor Larry Hogan, are among the Democrats to win the largest number of votes.

Gillum and Jealous would be the first African American governors in the history of their respective states when they were elected in November.

Representative Kyrsten Sinema (D), Senate candidate in Arizona, and outgoing President Sens, were also on the list.

In a statement, the former president touted the diversity of Democratic party tickets across the country and said he was "keen to continue defending the reasons why they deserve our votes in November."

"Our incredible number of candidates across the country are forming a movement of younger, more diverse and more feminine citizens than ever before," said Obama.

Obama has kept a relatively low political profile since he left office last year. But last month he delivered an astonishing reprimand for President TrumpDonald John TrumpKavanaugh polls: the FBI in the hot seat Kanye West criticizes the 13th amendment on Twitter Feinstein calls the White House, the FBI to release the scope of the Kavanaugh PLUS investigation during a speech at the University of Urbana-Champaign Illinois, decrying what he called the "radical" program of the former real estate mogul.

"It's not conservative, it's not normal, it's radical," Obama told the burning address. "It is a vision that says that protecting our power and those who support us is all that matters, even when the country suffers."
