Gergen discusses the challenges Obama faces in uniting a divided nation.

The midterms really helped him. They transformed the race, best midterm elections for any president in 20 years.
Maintaining the status quo with regard to the filibuster is unacceptable for him.
Sadly, you know, I think for a variety of reasons he should not. I just, I don't think either Trump or Biden should be running.
You can stand up and say we shouldn't be doing this because it's unconstitutional. Therefore, I never have to come to say whether I agree or disagree whether he incited the riot.
