Biden’s Social Media Praise Recently, former President Barack Obama praised President Joe Biden on social media for his steadfast commitment to the American people. Obama wrote, “This country’s sacred cause is larger than any one of us,” in response to X. Over the course of a career of serving the American people, Joe Biden has repeatedly remained loyal to these statements. Regards, @POTUS.
No Mention of Harris Endorsement
Obama praised Biden, but he did not support Kamala Harris for vice president. Obama is reluctant to support Harris because, according to a source close to the Biden family, he thinks she won’t be able to defeat Republican contender Donald Trump in the impending 2024 presidential election. The source said, “Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win.”
Biden’s Decision to Step Back
President Joe Biden indicated in a recent speech that he would be withdrawing from the 2024 presidential contest, citing the importance of “passing the torch to a new generation.” “I have decided the best way forward is to pass the torch to a new generation,” said Biden, expressing his profound respect for the office and even deeper love for the nation. That is our country’s best means of unification.
Democratic Party’s Stance on Harris
Even though the Democratic Party hasn’t formally nominated Harris as the nominee for president yet, Biden gave her his support when he announced his intention to withdraw from the contest. According to an AP survey, prominent party figures, such as former Speaker Nancy Pelosi, have endorsed Harris. Additionally, the study revealed that Harris’s home state of California and Texas state delegations have confirmed their support for her.
Securing Delegates’ Support
According to the AP, by the end of the day, Harris had secured support from more than the 1,976 Democratic delegates required to win on the first ballot. No other candidate received support from the delegates contacted. In response to the tally, Harris expressed her gratitude to Biden and the Democratic Party, stating, “I am grateful to President Biden and everyone in the Democratic Party who has already put their faith in me, and I look forward to taking our case directly to the American people.”
