Obama is the first American president born out of the 48 contiguous states

Honolulu, the state capital of Hawaii, is where Barack Obama was born. At Kapiolani Women's and Children's Medical Center, he was born when his mother was 19 years old. As a result, he stands out as the only American president in history to have both a Hawaiian and a foreign-born birthplace.

Obama announced his presidential run on February 10, 2007, in Springfield, Illinois, in front of the Old State Capitol building. Because it was also the site of Abraham Lincoln's famous "Separate House" address in 1858, the location for the announcement is significant. In a campaign that addressed the themes of hope and change, Obama highlighted the problems of swiftly ending the Iraq War, achieving energy independence, and health care system reform.

The Democratic presidential primaries have attracted a large number of candidates. After the early races, the field was reduced to a contest between Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton. Throughout the primaries, the race remained close, but Obama gradually gained ground due to greater long-term planning, superior funding, caucus domination, and better utilization of delegate distribution procedures, an increase in committed delegates has occurred.

Obama secured enough votes on June 2, 2008, to win the presidency. He is an American politician who presided over the country as the 44th president from 2009 to 2017. He is the first African-American president of the United States and a member of the Democratic Party.
