In response to "During Obama, there was no bench. His above it all sense of politics destroyed the state parties. Trump brought it back in 2018, 2020…" by Will Hunting

More positively, I'd also say that Obama being elected president gave a sense that anyone could be President.

You didn't need to be that experienced or do your time and wait for your turn or belong to a secret club. I think that encouraged a lot of younger candidates that they could find success in politics.

That has helped to build the Dem bench. (And lots of young Republicans have copied the model as well)
