Former Democrat Insider Exposes Obama’s Influence in the Biden-Harris Administration

A former Democratic National Committee (DNC) official has publicly confirmed what many Americans have speculated for years—that President Joe Biden’s administration is essentially a continuation of former President Barack Obama’s policies and influence. Lindy Li, a former DNC fundraiser, made these revelations during a recent appearance on the “Shawn Ryan Show,” adding fuel to the ongoing debate about Obama’s behind-the-scenes role in Biden’s presidency.

A ‘Third Term’ for Obama?

During the interview, Li openly stated that Obama’s presence within the Biden administration is far more significant than the public has been led to believe. According to her, Biden’s presidency is, in many ways, a “third term” for Obama, with key figures from the Obama administration continuing to wield considerable influence in decision-making processes.

“There are so many holdovers from the Obama years still running things behind the scenes,” Li remarked. “It’s not surprising that many of the policies we see today closely resemble those from 2008-2016.”

This claim aligns with long-standing speculation among conservatives and political analysts who have pointed to the Biden administration’s policy choices, personnel appointments, and overall governance style as evidence that Obama’s influence remains strong.

The Key Figures Linking Obama and Biden

Many of Biden’s top advisors and officials previously served in the Obama administration, reinforcing the idea that his presidency is an extension of Obama’s leadership. Some of the most notable figures include:

Susan Rice – Served as National Security Advisor under Obama and later as Biden’s Domestic Policy Advisor before stepping down in 2023.
Ron Klain – Former Chief of Staff to both Biden and Obama.
Antony Blinken – Secretary of State, who was previously Obama’s Deputy National Security Advisor.
Jen Psaki – Former White House Press Secretary, who also worked in the Obama administration.
Jake Sullivan – Biden’s National Security Advisor, who held key positions under Obama.

These individuals, among others, have helped shape the Biden administration’s policies, many of which closely mirror those of the Obama era.

Obama’s Own Words Support the Theory

The idea that Biden’s administration serves as a continuation of Obama’s presidency is not new. In fact, Obama himself hinted at the possibility during an interview in 2020 with CBS’s Stephen Colbert. When asked if he would be interested in running for a third term if it were legally possible, Obama responded:

“I used to say, if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a frontman or frontwoman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and then I could deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that.”

For many critics, Obama’s words seemed eerily prophetic, aligning with what they see happening under Biden’s leadership today.
