Barack Obama Endorses
Justin Trudeau for Re-Election.
Former president Barack Obama
recently took to Twitter to endorse Canada's
current prime minister, Justin Trudeau. .
In his endorsement, Obama praised
Trudeau’s “progressive leadership” and
commitment to tackling “big issues.”.
I was proud to work with Justin Trudeau
as President. He's a hard-working, effective
leader who takes on big issues like climate
change. The world needs his progressive
leadership now, and I hope our neighbors to
the north support him for another term. , Barack Obama, via Twitter.
Trudeau responded shortly afterwards,
referring to Obama as “[his] friend.” .
Thanks my friend, we’re working
hard to keep our progress going, Justin Trudeau, via Twitter.
Trudeau is currently seeking re-election
in what is predicted to be a tight race.
According to ‘TIME,’ his approval ratings are
at near-record lows, largely due to the resurfacing
of old photos that show him wearing blackface. .
If Trudeau loses re-election, it will be the first
time since 1935 that a first-term prime minister
with the parliamentary majority has lost.
