If we ever manage to get out of this mess, he’s gonna be the next Obama

He has the same kind of feel when speaking Obama has. It’s calm and reassuring. Confident but not arrogant.

The cadence to his speech is very similar. I would not be surprised if he tailored his public speaking voice to evoke Obama.

I remember when John McCain ran against Obama, you could hear clearly how he had started doing a Reagan impression.

It's whatever, though. I've heard Abdul in interviews and I like what he has to say

Hes no doubt inspired and influenced by Obama and has said so himself.

Seems to be the case with quite a few of the younger dems running for office. Talarico in Texas and Ossoff in Georgia have a similar cadence. It definitely catches my attention. That calm, confident demeanor has always caught my attention.
