Democrats are trying to spin Biden’s departure from the 2024 race. They seem to be suggesting Biden’s doing it for the “good” of the country. What does that mean but that Joe is not good for the country? By not saying the obvious, they are only underscoring that Biden’s dropping out because he is too impaired. And, that only proves he’s been sick for a while, being unfit to lead since 2020.
The liberal party has a very tough road ahead of them. They need to immediately find a replacement, with just days before the convention.
Biden christened his vice president as his replacement. It is likely many Democrats will want to rush Kamala into the position, given the short timeframe. But they run the risk of upsetting Democrat voters, who will now not have a voice in the nomination process. And another wrinkle has been introduced into the process. Barack Obama refused to endorse Harris.
From Daily Caller:
Former President Barack Obama declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris on Sunday in a lengthy statement on President Joe Biden dropping out of the presidential race…… rather than endorsing Harris, Obama wrote that he was confident Democratic leadership would “create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges” at the upcoming Democratic National Committee convention in Chicago next month…
The statement from the former president came shortly after both former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton announced they would be throwing their support behind Harris.
A Political Curveball
Just as the dust was beginning to settle from President Joe Biden’s shocking withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, another bombshell has rocked the Democratic Party. Former President Barack Obama, the Democrats’ beloved figure, has declined to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as Biden’s successor. Yes, you read that right—Obama is keeping his cards close to his chest. Apparently, Bill and Hillary Clinton are endorsing Harris. That guaranteed Biden wouldn’t do the same, given the bad blood between him and that family!
Instead of endorsing someone, Obama wants what is called an open convention for an “outstanding nominee” to emerge. While that could lead to someone who has what it takes to defeat Trump, it is unlikely to happen. Most of the party will probably want to secure Kamala’s nomination ASAP, so she has the maximum amount of time against Trump.
The Democrats’ Dilemma
Obama’s move is painful to the process. Harris was seen by many as the natural successor to Biden. They thought she could seamlessly step into the role and continue Biden’s legacy of decline. The party is now facing a potential free-for-all primary, with multiple candidates vying for the top spot and no clear frontrunner in sight.
As the Democratic Party grapples with this new reality, all eyes will be on who steps up and how the primary race unfolds. Obama’s non-endorsement is a complication, and the ripple effects will be felt as we approach the convention. One thing is certain: the 2024 election is shaping up to be one of the most unpredictable and contentious races in recent history.
Key Takeaways:
- Barack Obama refused to endorse Kamala Harris in a statement about Biden’s withdrawal from the race.
- Obama endorsed an open Democratic convention to produce an “outstanding” candidate.
- It is unknown why Obama did not back Harris, while other party leaders are rushing to crown her the nominee.
