Former President Barack Obama was reportedly working against then-Vice President Kamala Harris following President Joe Biden's withdrawal from the race. In an interview, journalist Jonathan Allen stated that Obama believed an open primary was necessary, doubting Harris's chances of success for the Democrats. Despite eventually endorsing Harris after Biden's exit, Obama had reservations about her candidacy. The discussion emerged from Allen's upcoming book, shedding light on the Democratic Party's inner dynamics during this critical period.
President Obama absolutely did not think that Joe Biden should continue... and he also didn't want Kamala Harris to be the replacement for Biden.
Obama had set up a phone call with Congressman Clyburn for the day Biden handed off the baton to Harris... roping him into the open convention thing.
