Report: Obama Doubts Kamala Harris Can Beat Trump

(RepublicanReport.org) – President Joe Biden recently announced his decision to step out of the race for re-election and swiftly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to run in his stead. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the VP will likely be the nominee in a few weeks and has already started campaigning as such. However, one person close to Biden is rumored to have doubts about her success.

An unnamed source allegedly close to the Biden family said former President Barack Obama doesn’t think Harris can win in November. The person said Obama said the VP was “incompetent” and “cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her.” Indeed, the former two-time president has not officially endorsed Harris for the nomination, as have other high-ranking members of the Democratic Party. However, a recent exclusive by NBC News noted that Obama plans to do so soon.

Still, behind the scenes, the anonymous source stating that the former US leader does not support Harris for the nomination said Obama is aware that the VP “can’t debate” but will have to do so soon. The person said she will have to “answer real questions” and will “say something really stupid.”

After Biden announced he was dropping out of the race, rumors swirled that Obama played a key role in that decision. The former US leader released a statement shortly afterward, relaying his affection for Biden and the job he’s done in public service, calling Biden’s choice a “testament to [his] love of country.” While Obama indicated he trusted Democratic leaders to “create a process” for a new presidential nominee, he didn’t mention Harris’ name at all.

A source reportedly told the New York Post that Obama was “shocked” when the president endorsed Harris for the nomination and was reportedly so “furious” that he refused to endorse her. Another anonymous source said they weren’t surprised by Obama’s allegedly feelings about the change, stating the former president can’t see “politics beyond his singular, immediate interests.”
