Obama’s “Furious” Reaction to Biden’s Endorsement of Harris
A trusted insider within the Biden family has revealed to the New York Post that former President Barack Obama is less than thrilled about Kamala Harris’s chances of winning. In fact, he is reportedly “furious” with Biden for choosing to endorse her.
Biden’s Unprecedented Resignation and Democrat Reactions
President Biden recently surprised us all by resigning via an X post, a move that is unprecedented in American politics. This unexpected decision led to a surge of support from key Democrat leaders for Vice President Harris. However, Obama, a significant figure in the Democratic party, was noticeably silent on Harris in his statement released this past Sunday.
Obama’s Confidence in Democratic Leadership
In his statement, Obama expressed confidence in the party’s leadership: “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges,” he wrote. He also praised Biden’s vision for America and expressed optimism for the upcoming Democratic Convention.
Obama’s Disapproval of Harris
Despite this show of unity, it seems Obama isn’t as confident in Harris. An insider close to the Biden family told the New York Post that Obama is “very upset because he knows she can’t win.” The source went on to criticize Harris’s competency and ability to navigate political landmines.
Hollywood Influence on Political Decisions
Interestingly, Obama had reportedly hoped that an op-Ed by Hollywood A-lister George Clooney would persuade Biden to drop out of the race. Clooney, along with several other Hollywood stars, had attended a rally hosted by Biden and Obama just weeks before the op-ed was published.
Fears Over Upcoming Trump-Harris Debate
The source also shared Obama’s concerns about an upcoming debate between Trump and Harris, expected to take place in September. The former president is reportedly worried that Harris will make a significant blunder during the debate, particularly on sensitive issues like Israel, Palestine, and Ukraine.
Biden’s Unexpected Endorsement of Harris
According to the insider, Obama was blindsided by Biden’s decision to endorse Harris just 15 minutes after announcing he wouldn’t seek re-election. This unexpected move left Obama “furious,” particularly as Biden’s initial statement did not mention Harris.
Obama’s Discontent with Democratic Party’s Support of Harris
The source added that Obama is “furious” with the way things have turned out, which explains why he hasn’t joined in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris.
High-Profile Democrat Source Criticizes Obama
Another high-profile Democrat source criticized Obama for his reaction to Biden’s endorsement of Harris. The source suggested that Obama’s surprise at a smart political decision was due to his personal inability to see beyond his immediate interests.
Final Thoughts
While Obama may consider himself the “smartest and coolest guy in the room,” his reaction to Biden’s endorsement of Harris suggests otherwise. It seems clear that there are divisions within the Democratic party that could impact their chances in the upcoming election.
