Former President Barack Obama is backing Maryland gubernatorial candidate Ben Jealous in his second round of endorsements for Democratic candidates.

Jealous, who will face Republican Gov. Larry Hogan in the general election, was among four Maryland candidates Obama endorsed Monday. The others are Susan Turnbull, who is running with Jealous for lieutenant governor; House of Delegates candidate Courtney Watson, of Howard County; and Maryland House speaker Michael Busch.

“Today, I’m proud to endorse even more Democratic candidates who aren’t just running against something, but for something—to expand opportunity for all of us and to restore dignity, honor, and compassion to public service,” the former president wrote in a tweet.

1. I miss having a real POTUS

2. I miss Obama so much. I am thrilled to see him helping Ben.

Hogan has run a slick campaign which takes credit for accomplishments he did not earn. Ben has had a hard time raising money and I hope Obama can help make a difference,
