Did President Barack Obama campaign for fellow democrats in runoff elections after winning the presidency?
Yes and no. Early in his presidency, especially during his first term, Mr. Obama didn't have time to do a lot of campaigning; the country was enduring a recession and there were other major crises he had to address. So, he was not able to leave D.C. and show up for other candidates, although his political advocacy organization helped some Democrats behind the scenes. But some Democrats felt the president didn't do enough, and they wanted him to find a way to be more engaged.He became more politically active in his second term, but even then, he believed it would not be useful if he campaigned too much-- he didn't want the attention to be on him, but rather, on the local candidates. Some candidates probably wished he had done more-- he was very popular in certain states, and they probably did want him to come to town and show up at a rally or an event. But there were some other campaigns, especially Democrats running in "red states" (majority-Republican parts of the country), where he was not as popular and the Democratic candidates probably wanted him to stay at a distance.
