Former President Barack Obama, in an interview held on Sunday (Nov. 15) by CBS’s Gayle King has made it clear that he will not be joining President-elect Joe Biden’s Cabinet next year. However, whenever needed, he would be offering the next president advice and help. This interview was Obama’s first, after the election and prior to the release of his book, A Promised Land. While Obama took up the background role almost throughout the campaign, in the end, he was quite critical of Trump, particularly in relation to how he dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic.
