In his guest appearance “under the desk,” Obama urged people to get out and register to vote, and support Democrats to enact new climate change restrictions, gun control laws, and support abortion rights.  

“Here’s the thing: you can stay [under the desk] for now, but when it comes time for voting you’re going to have to get up,” Obama says in the video, posted Tuesday. 

“You got climate change legislation on the ballot, you got gun safety. And, when we can elect more pro-choice members of Congress, we can re-institute [sic] Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.”

Spehar then asks, “Is now a bad time to say that I voted for McCain in 2008?”   

“Mmm… as long as you voted,” Obama replies with a grin.

The video had raked in 1.4 million views on TikTok by Wednesday afternoon.
