Former President Barack Obama appeared in a live taping of Pod Save America on Thursday, celebrating the Democratic victories in Tuesday’s elections.

Obama flexed his political influence in the 2025 gubernatorial elections, successfully stumping for Govs.-elect Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) and Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) in the lead-up to Election Day. He drew massive crowds in Newark , New Jersey, and Norfolk , Virginia, as he encouraged voters to show up for each of the affordability-focused Democratic gubernatorial nominees.
