A new book reveals that Barack Obama doubted Kamala Harris's ability to win the 2024 presidential election against Donald Trump. Instead of supporting her candidacy, he sought to orchestrate a mini-primary after Biden's expected withdrawal from the race. While he eventually endorsed Harris, internal sources indicated he considered her a weak choice, which contributed to tensions within the Democratic Party leadership. The book discusses the chaotic climate surrounding Biden's succession and Obama's strategic attempts behind the scenes to explore alternative options.
President Obama absolutely did not think that Joe Biden should continue, according to our sources close to President Obama. And he also didn't want Kamala Harris to be the replacement for Biden.
Obama had set up a call with Clyburn for like 5:30 that afternoon. And Clyburn thought to himself, this guy is going to try to rope me into the open convention thing.
