political capital H.E.A.V.Y. Like.. does he even have an ad that doesn't feature BO? lol. It's blatant. I think BO (correctly) has stayed out of it (and even politely trolled a bit, making comments about women leaders, new generation leaders etc during speaking engagements), but by and large.. folks that don't follow politics closely view Biden as part of the Obama-Biden package and a known entity.

But you're right in that a peculiarly significant number of Obama alums have either endorsed or joined the campaigns of others. Correct on Warren. Pete also had a number of Obama alums (BO's top economic advisor, Reggie Love, staffers from past campaigns, etc), and BO namechecked him as one to watch in an old article towards the end of BOs presidency. Basically, the "let's go back to the Obama-Biden" years has been almost exclusively a one-sided push (and not by BO lol)
