Kevin McCarthy, former House Speaker (R-CA), appeared Sunday on “The Cats Roundtable”, a program hosted by John Catsimatidis of 770 WABC. McCarthy dropped a bombshell revealing that the Obamas were running Kamala Harris’ campaign behind the scenes.
He claims that they ran the White House before this:
Some of Obama’s key people, such as David Plouffe and other campaign workers, are currently working on the campaign.
The Obamas are now in charge of the campaign, instead of running the White House.
McCarthy claims that the 44th President’s former staff left their fingerprints everywhere.
Eric Holder, Obama’s Attorney General, assisted Harris in the selection of her running mate as vice president.
Harris hired Plouffe, Obama’s 2008 campaign manager and one of his White House top advisers as a senior campaign assistant. Plouffe, a political operative, has also advised TikTok as well as Uber.
Harris also hired Stephanie Cutter as the campaign’s senior strategist for messaging. She previously served as Obama’s deputy campaign manager in 2012.

There’s still more! As those old infomercials would say:
Politico reports that the firm that created Obama’s ads, Jim Margolis, is also expected to join Harris’ team. He worked on Harris’ 2020 campaign.
Harris also hired Doug Emhoff’s husband, Jennifer Palmieri, a veteran Democratic advisor.
Palmieri was director of communications at the White House for Obama and held the post of the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and ex-New York Senator Hillary Clinton in 2016 for her White House campaign.
Jennifer O’Malley Dillon worked for Obama and Joe Biden’s presidential campaigns in 2020 as well as the campaign chairwoman of Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign.
It sure does sound like “Team Obama” is being built. Barack will demand that Harris run the show according to his plans if Harris wins in November.
Sources deny that Barack and Michelle have changed:
A former top advisor to the ex-president scoffed when he heard that Obama was directing Harris’s campaign.
It’s not uncommon for veteran Democratic strategists to work with successive candidates for the White House.
The source stated that “President Obama would get involved if Harris asked him to”,
If you think that’s true, I have a bridge for you to buy. Obama will intervene at the time and place he chooses.
McCarthy, who was removed from his Speaker post in October ’23, and then resigned from Congress a few months later, also attacked Kamala Harris’ record:
“This is the most liberal ticket ever in American history.” … We don’t want to spread San Francisco and Minnesota all over the country …”
He said, “She cast the decisive vote that led to inflation.” We’ve seen these families struggling at the supermarket, at the petrol station. They have nothing left. “They are trying so hard to get by.”
Harris seems to think that we will believe she is the right president to fight inflation even though she was the one who brought it on us.
Some will claim that Barack Obama will be the fourth president if Kamala Harris becomes the next President. They could be right if McCarthy is correct.
