Rumors are circulating within President Biden’s camp that his swift endorsement of Kamala Harris was a calculated move against prominent party leaders, including Barack Obama, who pressured him to exit the presidential race. Sources close to the Biden family told The Post that Biden was advised by Obama to let delegates at the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago decide the new candidate. However, Biden decided to endorse Harris as a final act of defiance.
Speculation suggests that Biden viewed this endorsement as a way to maintain some control over his departure. A Democratic Party source revealed that Obama, along with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, wanted a "mini primary," which Obama believed Harris would not win. It was reported that Obama preferred Arizona Senator Mark Kelly as the nominee. Biden’s endorsement of Harris immediately followed his resignation announcement on X, leading to claims that this move was a way for Biden to retaliate against those who pressured him to step down. Despite tensions, Biden plans to remain active in Harris's campaign, leveraging his experience to benefit her run. Harris’s campaign, which has since received endorsements from top Democrats including Pelosi and Schumer, has been marked by internal party dynamics and strategic decisions influenced by longstanding rivalries and alliances.
