Kamala Doomed Without Key Endorsements?

(BrightPress.org) – Things are heating up in the Democrat party as a dividing line forms around Kamala Harris. The split is between those who endorse her and those who do not. Expect these lines to shift multiple times over the next 15 months. For now, Barack Obama has released a statement that does not endorse Kamala Harris.

Former President Barack Obama released a statement on July 21st following President Biden’s announcement that he was withdrawing from the presidential race. Obama praised Biden’s decision but did not mention or endorse Kamala Harris, despite Biden’s full support for her. Obama highlighted Biden’s accomplishments and his character but did not hint at supporting Harris.

Obama’s statement praised Biden for his impact as president, citing his efforts to end the pandemic, create jobs, and pass significant legislation. Biden’s decision to step aside, according to Obama, was a testament to his patriotism and love for the country. Obama expressed confidence in the party’s ability to find a strong nominee but did not endorse Harris.

Kamala Harris, on the other hand, has accepted Biden’s endorsement and announced her intention to seek the Democratic nomination. She emphasized her commitment to continue campaigning and earning the nomination.

Other Democrats praised Biden’s decision. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called Biden a great president and a true patriot for putting the country and party first. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi echoed similar sentiments, highlighting Biden’s dedication to the nation.

Republicans, however, criticized Biden’s decision. Former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed their disdain, questioning Biden’s fitness to serve as president for the remainder of his term. Trump accused Biden of attaining the presidency through lies and fake news. Johnson called for Biden’s immediate resignation, citing his decision to drop out as proof of his unfitness.

Biden’s brother, Frank Biden, suggested health concerns influenced the decision. He believed Biden stepped down due to health issues and to combat the threat posed by Donald Trump. However, a Biden family source refuted Frank’s claims, calling them untrue.
