Joe Biden insisted on Monday that he doesn’t need former President Obama’s endorsement in the Democratic presidential race because his connection to his ex-boss is already clear to voters.
In an interview with Politico, the former vice president repeated his past claim that he told Obama not to endorse him in the primary. Asked whether he would want the former president’s blessing if the field of Democratic candidates narrowed to three people, Biden was blunt.
“No, because everyone knows I’m close with him,” he said. “I don’t need an Obama endorsement.”
Biden also addressed a recent Politico Magazine story recalling how Obama once reportedly told another Democratic candidate that the former Delaware senator “really doesn’t have it” when it comes to connecting with voters on a personal level.
“He may have said that,” Biden told Politico. “And if it’s true, and he said it, there’s truth to it.”
