Barack Obama is “very upset” with Democrat President Joe Biden for endorsing Kamala Harris as his replacement in the presidential race, according to a new report.
Biden family sources reportedly told the New York Post that Obama is warning that Harris “can’t win” the election against President Donald Trump.
As Slay New previously reported, Obama issued a statement to publicly praise Biden for stepping down.
When Biden announced Sunday that he was dropping out of the race, he endorsed Harris to replace him on the Democrats’ 2024 ticket.
However, while Obama backed Biden’s decision to drop out, he stopped short of supporting his choice of Harris as his replacement.
Obama’s failure to endorse Harris has left many questioning why.
Several prominent Democrats and top megadonors have thrown their support behind Harris, including the Clintons.
Obama’s refusal to endorse Harris has led to speculation that he may be planning his own power move by pushing his wife Michelle for the nomination.
According to the Post, however, Obama simply believes that Harris will lose to Trump.
“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.
“When you are running for president there are things you can and can’t say.”
The turning point for Biden, 81, came after his disastrous performance against Trump in a televised debate in Atlanta last month.
Biden’s trainwreck debate performance provoked large numbers of Democrats to call for the president to drop out of the race.
However, reports have since emerged to reveal that the debate was part of an “elaborate set-up” to remove Biden from the race.
Yet, according to the Biden family source, Obama and other top Democrats are bracing for Harris to be crushed by Trump during the next TV debate.
When Biden was still in the race, a second debate was scheduled for September 10.
“Wait until the debate… She can’t debate,” the source said.
“She’s going to put her foot in her mouth about Israel, Palestine, Ukraine.
“She’s going to say something really stupid.
“Obama knew this was going to happen, Joe knew this was going to happen.
“Now she is going to have to answer real questions.”
According to the source, Obama was secretly leading efforts to push Biden out, as Slay News reported.
Obama was reportedly linked to an article written by George Clooney in the New York Times asking Biden to step aside.
The article was part of Obama’s plan, the source revealed.
However, the higher-ups in the Democratic Party didn’t count on Biden endorsing Harris right away.
“Obama was shocked” when Biden endorsed her, according to the insider.
After Biden’s ouster, Obama wanted Democrat Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) “at the top of the ticket” when the Democratic National Convention is held next month, the source said.
Obama is “furious,” things haven’t gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris,” the Biden source added.
Another well-placed Democrat source said, “Obama being surprised by a smart political decision actually makes sense when coupled with his personal inability to see politics beyond his singular, immediate interests.
“Obama always thinks he is the smartest and coolest guy in the room.
“He’s friends with George Clooney, after all.”
Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois who denounced Obama as a “threat to democracy” in a Wall Street Journal op-ed Tuesday, said he believes “Obama was instrumental” to getting Biden out of the race.
Blagojevich, a former Democrat who is now supporting Trump, was governor of Illinois when Obama became a state senator in 2005.
“It [Biden’s departure from the race] couldn’t have happened without him [Obama],” Blagojevich asserted.
“Without Obama, Biden is still the Democratic nominee.
“Obama was the conductor leading the orchestra that convinced Biden to step aside.”
In order to allow Hillary Clinton a shot at the White House, Obama persuading Biden not to run for the presidency in 2016.
This has also since been a sticking point between them, according to reports.
“He was not encouraging,” Biden later told the New York Times, referring to Obama.
Obama believed at the time that Hillary Clinton had a better chance of beating Trump.
“He’s running the Democratic Party like a Chicago ward boss from the shadows in the back room,” Blagojevich continued.
“In this case, it’s a big backroom because he has a lot of big houses.”
Virtual nomination. Meaning no one will know how delegates voted. They are hiding their coup.
Their hope was the floated "mini primary" where Obama could select the best candidate based on loyalty to him and polling. Unfortunately, that was a bridge too far.
The delegates will vote 100% for the same candidate—who never ran in a single primary.
Welcome to North Korea.
Clap loudly.
Or else.

DON’T BUY IT!!! This is all scripted kabuki to throw off republicans. EVERYTHING from this administration, the democrats, the media, and ESPECIALLY The Holy Kenyan Lightworker (PBUH) is a lie. The cheating will be the stuff of legend. 2020 will be nothing compared for what they have in store.
Worth repeating, over and over. Let’s get to work.
My bet is that this leak came straight from Jill Biden.
I don’t think Biden decided anything..
He did as he was directed to. My guess is that the agreement is he’s out, you and your family will not be prosecuted. The info is there and indictments are ready to go.
I still expect that Kamala is a trial baloon. The people backing her are frantic to get her to be the nominee.
But others are pushing others and make something happen at the DNC.
If Kamala does not seem to be “good enough”, believable enough that people won’t buy stealing the election again, she will be replaced.
We have no active president.
Just a stooge who cant make a public appearance without showing how incompetent he is.
Fake signatures, body double, punching bag democRAT! What could go wrong? 👀🤦🏻♂️
Obama chose both, I believe.
Just wait until Kamala Harris (or whomever) gets the greatest number of “votes” in US history.
People will ask questions.
But who will do anything? The GOP? The states? The courts? The people? Hey — anybody want to gather in Washington DC on Jan 6 2025 to protest Kamala getting 100 million votes? No? Didn’t think so.
Why wouldn’t they steal?
IMO it was the best of a lot of bad options.
There was a chance that Biden’s numbers were being depressed because of his dementia and that moving Harris to the top might address that issue and shift the numbers back into competitive territory. Anyone besides Harris would have started a fight at the convention, resulting in a bloodbath down-ballot.
From Harris’ perspective she was 100% going to lose as VP on the ticket, so taking the chance was worth it. And her career was over either way if she lost so why not take the chance. That is not the case with anyone who might join her ticket in the VP slot. If they are young, they will be giving up their current Senator or Governor job and effectively ending their young promising political career by joining her ticket. No one with half a brain who is young would want to join her which is why people like Whitmer have already turned down the spot.
In the end I suspect you will either get some old guy that accepts because his career is nearly already over anyway, or a complete idiot.
However, do not be surprised if what we see and read is all smoke and mirrors. Why did Manchin, a far more dangerous candidate, say he may run for the nomination and then drop out the next day? Who spoke to him? Manchin is a RAT through and through but has a carefully crafted image as a moderate. People would look at Trump and Biden and see Manchin as a reasonable, less partisan candidate. The rules may have been against him since he would have had to re-register as a Democrat. But the RATS are changing their rules almost daily.
He’s playing the game. This is gaslighting the base to get voter turnout up.
Boy, they are burying Obama. They have made a total fool out of him. Now he has to tuck his tail between his legs and follow like a good little boy.
Blagojevich, a former Democrat who is now supporting Trump, was governor of Illinois when Obama became a state senator in 2005.“It [Biden’s departure from the race] couldn’t have happened without him [Obama],” Blagojevich asserted.
Blago? Wow. Didn't know he had it in him.
(He is one of the IL govs to do time.)
YES, the Democrat party is the ‘OPPOSITION’.
The candidates are just the face. They are interchangeable like pawns on a chessboard. It doesn’t matter who they ‘pick’ or how, the result will be the same.
Newsome, Whitmer, Harris, or an unknown drunk homeless guy from Poughkeepsie. They are all the same................
Trump beats her in 2016, so they cheat Biden in, in 2020?
Do you think her incumbency for 8 years would have made her more likable?
I know it’s all hypothetical....
Maybe Obama/Rodham would have lost to McCain/Palin. Who knows?
