Kamala Harris, the likely Democratic presidential candidate after Joe Biden opted out of the contest, has not yet made any public statements in support of the former US president. However, this is not a pointy from Obama to Kamala, as per a New York Times article by Glenn Thrush, but a calculated choice that was driven by a number of elements.
Obama’s support may have made Kamala’s life easier, according to the statement.
Kamala Harris ‘ election should not appear to be a crown, but rather a consensus-based decision because she has already won the support of the majority of Democrats. Obama did the same thing four years ago when Biden’s supporters pressured him to support him in the Democratic primary before Senator Bernie Sanders resigned.
Obama wants to play a role in bringing the party’s support to a head on the nomination.
Obama did n’t want to upset Biden
According to the NYT study, Biden never forgave Obama for backing Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential campaign because he believed he could have defeated Trump in the poll. Obama’s decision to disqualify him from running for president in 2020 was likewise disappointing. So when Biden announced his “retirement,” Obama was cautious and did n’t rush to support Kamala Harris.
” Sunday was all about Biden,” Biden claimed.
Democrats were eager to see Biden’s announcement to reschedule his election campaign, but it also drew the Democrats ‘ attention. Obama wanted Sunday to be about Biden, a party of his accomplishments, not Harris.
What Obama wrote for Biden
Obama issued a lengthy statement celebrating Biden’s job. ” Joe Biden has been one of America’s most significant leaders, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Now, we’ve even been reminded — again— that he’s a soldier of the highest purchase”, the declaration read.
” Sixteen years back, when I began my search for a vice president, I knew about Joe’s extraordinary career in public services. But what I really liked most about his character was his heavy compassion, hard-earned strength, basic decency, and conviction that everyone else is important.
“… Joe is also known for not giving up on a fight. One of his hardest decisions was for him to examine the social environment and choose to pass the torch to a newcomer. But I am aware that he would n’t choose this option unless he felt America should do it. It’s a bible to Joe Biden’s love of his country and a historical example of a true public servant who puts the needs of the British people before his own that future generations of leaders will do well to follow, he wrote.
