Former Obama advisor faults Trump administration's handling of new Bob Woodward book

Dan Pfeiffer, former senior advisor to Barack Obama and author of “Yes We (Still) Can: Politics in the Age of Obama, Twitter and Trump,” is optimistic about the possibilities for Democrats in the midterms as Obama rejoins the campaign trail next week.

Pfeiffer joined ABC News’ “Powerhouse Politics” this week to discuss the state of the Democratic base and what to expect from Obama as he joins the conversation again.

“I think you will hear the president lay out the stakes for the election, and continue what he said to Americans in his final speech right as he left the office in January 2017 about the role and responsibility that citizens have to take the state of our country in our own hands,” Pfeiffer said.
