Barack Obama doesn’t endorse Kamala Harris, says Dems will pick ‘outstanding nominee’
WASHINGTON — Former President Barack Obama didn’t endorse Kamala Harris — saying Democrats would pick an unnamed “outstanding nominee” in his first statement on President Biden stepping aside from the party’s ticket.
Obama, 62, was joined by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in not immediately backing the 59-year-old vice president — following reports last week that both favored an “open” process to replace Biden.
“We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said.

Republican House Speaker Johnson claimed that by forcing Biden to withdraw, Democrats "invalidated more than 14 million votes cast for Joe (Biden) in the (primary)." Similar points have been made one after another by leading Republicans. There is an implication in this that the Democratic Party is an undemocratic party that goes so far as to undermine the ``will of the people'' once expressed in order to stay in power.
Regarding the election campaign, there was a strong view within the Republican Party that it would be advantageous for Trump if Biden remained in the race, after his lackluster performance in June's candidate debate and concerns about his cognitive decline became widely known. .
In fact, recent TV commercials from Mr. Trump's side are conspicuously focused on Ms. Harris. According to a tally by the U.S. political site Real Clear Politics, Biden's approval rating has continued to decline since the debate, giving Trump an average lead of 4.4 points in seven battleground states that will determine victory or defeat.

Harris became the first woman and first black person to become vice president in 2021, after serving as a senator. Her mother is an Indian immigrant, making her the first person of Asian descent to do so, and she was in the spotlight when she first took office. However, the Biden administration, which was in charge of issues such as immigration, has had a poor track record, and its national popularity has waned.
According to a poll compiled by the U.S. political information site Real Clear Politics (RCP), which assumes a showdown with Trump, the average approval rating for Trump is 43.5%, while Harris is 38. It remains at 5%.
As the idea of Mr. Biden withdrawing has surfaced, some people are endorsing California Governor Gavin Newsom (56) and Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer (52).
Former President Barack Obama issued a statement on the 21st, saying, ``I am confident that our party will have an outstanding candidate selection process,'' but did not mention Harris. Within the party, there are simmering concerns about Harris, who is seen as a candidate who can beat Trump.

The US Democratic Party is accelerating its push to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris as its presidential candidate. According to the Washington Post, 178 Democratic governors and members of both houses of Congress have already expressed their support for Harris. Influential figures such as former President Clinton have also expressed support. While there are expectations within the party for Harris, who is black and Asian, to be the first female president, there are also moves to explore other candidates.
On the other hand, former President Trump criticized Mr. Biden on his SNS, saying, ``He was the worst president in American history. He should not have been president.'' In an interview with CNN, he said, ``Harris is easier to defeat than Biden.'' Mr. Trump has strengthened his party's unity in the wake of the assassination attempt, and is poised to intensify his attacks on the Democratic Party. Republican officials have criticized the Democratic Party, which plans to replace Biden, who was chosen as its presidential candidate in the primary, as ``trying to subvert the will of the American people.''
