US Presidential Election 2024: Barack Obama thinks Kamala Harris ’can’t win’ against Donald Trump: Report

Former US President Barack Obama has not endorsed Kamala Harris, as he believes she cannot defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, a source close to the Biden family told New York Post. The source claimed that Obama is upset as he sees Harris as incompetent and unable to navigate upcoming challenges.

“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” source told The Post.

The source added, “Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her,” as quoted by New York Post.

She was endorsed by US President Joe Biden, as the presidential nominee for the Democratic Party while he announced his decision to step out of the Presidential race. Joe Biden said that the decision was made in the "best interest" of the Democratic Party and the country.

Harris, on Biden's endorsement on July 21, had said she was honoured to receive it, and expressed that she ‘intended to earn and win the nomination
