Sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office at the White House, US President Joe Biden, referring to Kamala Harris, the potential Democratic candidate for the presidential election, said that choosing Kamala Harris as Vice President was my best decision. She is capable. She is an incredible partner for me and a good leader for our country. 59-year-old Harris has Biden’s strong and powerful support. But after Biden’s announcement of dropping out of the US presidential race last Sunday, Kamala Harris has the support of more than the required 1,976 delegates. Kamala Harris has also started her election campaign. Apart from this, Kamala Harris has received the support of Democrats from former President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton to progressives like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Former House Speaker and US Representative Nancy Pelosi cleared the doubts over her stand on her candidacy for the country’s President by endorsing Kamala Harris as the Democratic 2024 presidential candidate. Pelosi’s support gives strength to Harris as she is an influential voice in the Democratic Party. Even Hollywood superstar George Clooney has endorsed the current Vice President. But amid the many voices and endorsements for Vice President Kamala Harris, someone is sitting silent. The silence is telling. That voice is that of former US President Barack Obama.
Why is Barack Obama silent?
Former US President Obama was reportedly one of the most prominent voices calling for 81-year-old Biden to drop out of the US presidential race after he fell behind Trump in debates. It seems the pressure exerted by Obama worked in making Biden change his mind. Shortly after, Obama wrote in a post that Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we are reminded again that he is a patriot of the highest order.
Michelle Obama claim of ?
Obama has been described as angry in the New York Times Post report. On the other hand, NBC News has claimed that Obama is planning to support Harris as the Democratic presidential candidate. The report says that Obama has personally supported Harris’ candidature and is in regular contact with her. He will also publicly support Harris’ name. However, no date has been given in the report as to when Obama will do so. Recently, the name of Barack Obama’s wife Michelle Obama has also cropped up. This is also being linked to Obama’s silence.
