Thursday in Baltimore at the House Democrats annual retreat, President Barack Obama declared Democrats will win in November, including having a Democratic president succeeding him.

Obama said, “Obviously it is election season. The press has been focused on debates and divisions that they can drum up within the primary and within our party. I’m not worried about our party staying untied The other side may have some stuff to work out. But our trajectory is clear. And everyone is scouring my every word to find some deeper meaning, see if  I’m trying to put my finger on the scales. So let me simplify things Tonight I have an announcement to make about the presidential race. Democrats will win in November and we will have a Democratic president succeeding me. Just in case there is any confusion about that.”
