In a recent interview on Newsmax with Eric Bolling, Kari Lake, the 2022 Republican gubernatorial candidate for Arizona, shared her thoughts on why she believes former President Barack Obama is deeply concerned about the possibility of Trump’s win in 2024.

The discussion began with remarks on President Joe Biden’s visit to Arizona, joined by Reps. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), the perceived detrimental impact of his policies on Arizona’s crucial mining industry, and the perceived lack of attention to the border issues.

The topic then shifted to Obama’s involvement.

Bolling prompted, “Following a meeting between Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Obama urged Joe to be vigilant of Trump, suggesting Trump’s influence and popularity might be underestimated.

Who’s truly in charge? Is it Biden or is Obama the key decision-maker behind the scenes?”

Lake, who is rumored to be considering a run for the U.S. Senate and is an advocate for election transparency, responded, “In my opinion, Obama is the one pulling the strings. Initially, I felt sympathy for Biden, considering his evident cognitive challenges.

But now, my empathy has waned. I think he’s made questionable decisions, seemingly under undue influence. To me, it appears that Obama and his old guard are directing Biden’s actions.”

Lake isn’t alone in her speculations about Obama’s possible influential role in the Biden administration, but she is among the few high-profile individuals to voice such strong opinions, insinuating ulterior motives behind Obama’s involvement.

Bolling seemed to concur with Lake’s viewpoint but added, “And let’s not forget about Michelle Obama; she’s also one to watch.”
