A person close to the Biden family told The New York Post that former President Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris because he doesn’t think she can beat former President Donald Trump.
This is the second report from The New York Post from someone close to the Biden family (I don’t know if it’s the same source) who leaked information.
The Biden family is not going down quietly. Are these sources telling the truth? Who knows. But it could cause a rift or stir some trouble in a chaotic situation.
The first report said the bigwigs within the Democrat Party pushed out Biden.
Now, if I recall correctly, Obama did not endorse anyone in 2016 or 2020 until after the primary. Maybe Hillary right before the convention.
However, 2024 is a completely different situation. It’s obvious the party pushed out Biden. It’s obvious the party used 2020 as a way to get Kamala to the top of the ticket without the voters.
It’s also obvious Harris will be the 2024 nominee.
From The New York Post:
Following Joe Biden’s shock resignation from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris — but Obama is a notable exception.“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post.“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.”“When you are running for president there are things you can and can’t say.”The source also said a debate between Trump and Harris will show she is weak:“Wait until the debate… She can’t debate. She’s going to put her foot in her mouth about Israel, Palestine, Ukraine. She’s going to say something really stupid,” the source said.
Obama wanted Biden out of the race, but he thought the party would go with someone else.
Obama preferred Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly. The source in the first Post report mentioned the possibility of Kelly coming out on top at the convention:
However, the higher ups in the Democratic Party didn’t count on Biden endorsing Harris right away and “Obama was shocked” when Joe endorsed her, according to the insider.After Biden’s ouster, Obama — who did not return a request for comment Wednesday — wanted Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly “at the top of the ticket” when the Democratic National Convention is held next month, the source said.Obama is “furious,” things haven’t gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris,” the Biden source added.
But another Democrat source isn’t surprised Obama overplayed his hand:
Another well-placed Democrat source said, “Obama being surprised by a smart political decision actually makes sense when coupled with his personal inability to see politics beyond his singular, immediate interests.“Obama always thinks he is the smartest and coolest guy in the room. He’s friends with George Clooney, after all.”
Again, I believe anything at this point.
