Former president Barack Obama hasn’t endorsed Kamala Harris’ presidential bid because he doesn’t think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family.
Following Joe Biden’s shock resignation from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris — but Obama is a notable exception.
“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post.
“Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.”
The turning point for Biden, 81, came after his disastrous performance against Trump in a televised debate in Atlanta last month which, The Post first revealed, was part of an “elaborate set-up” to remove him from the race.
But the source doesn’t have high hopes for a TV debate between Trump and Harris. When Biden was still in the race, a second debate was scheduled for September 10.
“Wait until the debate… She can’t debate. She’s going to put her foot in her mouth about Israel, Palestine, Ukraine. She’s going to say something really stupid,” the source said.

The Democrat Party can run pretty much any of their hacks and win. Everyone understands that whoever they run will be governed by the Democrat Party politburo.
Exactly . Kamala - one way or another - will win .
Looks like the Obama cabal was strong enough to get Potato to step down. But then the Kamala backers took over the driver’s seat, and boosted her up very quickly. To being the Rats Presidential candidate.
Kamala dumbass can still be deposed but it will be tough.
what a tangled web they weave.
Total b.s. put out by media liars(the penalty for liars is eternal hell)...and Obama...we need to ignore any and everything the Dems say... haven’t we learned that they only lie?
I said before that Barrack can still get the nomination.
Does anyone really think the GOP, Supreme Court or anyone would stop it?
Constitution 2 term limit be damned.
These people do what they want.
Hmm, maybe a primary process to get a measure of different candidates should have happened, the voters can decide, their beliefs, their electability, and so forth, ah nah, that’s crazy talk.
I think they’ll nominate a ham sandwich at the DNC convention.
2008.
I know, but still .....
Seems light on sourcing.
Is he saying she can not beat him with his endorsement? What is he really saying about himself?
People forget this but it's true. He moved wildly to the left only after after he had been safely re-elected in 2012.
The Obama of 2013 was not the Obama of 2009. Many people view 2013-14 as the jumping off point for radical left wokeism.
The Hildabeast said it was her destiny.
Misdirection. Always with the DEMs. We have an electorate that is either lock-step with the DEMs or don’t really care or follow politics that closely. The latter has no damn clue about FR. They want the Reader Digest’s version of what’s going on, and conservatives don’t have the patience for going down that path with them.
Takes one to know one.
Excellent Observations!
Don’t get high on hopium.
“The campaign said earlier it took in $81 million in the 24 hours after Mr. Biden dropped out. It was the largest amount of money raised in a 24-hour span in presidential history, according to Team Harris.
The campaign said more than 888,000 grassroots donors contributed in that 24 hour span and for 60% of them, it was their first contribution of the 2024 election cycle. A call hosted by the group “Win with Black Women” brought in $1.6 million alone, Team Harris said.
The $100 million haul came from more than 1.1 million unique donors, including 62% first-time donors, according to the campaign..”
