Ever since Joe Biden was pressured out of the 2024 race by the Democratic elite and caved to the pressure, many of the Democrats have been jumping on the Kamala Harris bandwagon. 

But not Barack Obama. 

Now there's a new report that explains why Obama isn't endorsing Harris — because he doesn't think she can beat former President Donald Trump, "according to a source close to the Biden family." Fascinating leak from the Biden side dishing the dirt on Harris.

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

“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.”

“When you are running for president there are things you can and can’t say.” [....]

But the source doesn’t have high hopes for a TV debate between Trump and Harris. When Biden was still in the race, a second debate was scheduled for September 10.

“Wait until the debate… She can’t debate. She’s going to put her foot in her mouth about Israel, Palestine, Ukraine. She’s going to say something really stupid,” the source said.

“Obama knew this was going to happen, Joe knew this was going to happen. Now she is going to have to answer real questions.” 

There are some who believe that the endorsement of Harris by Biden was actually an effort to get back at Obama and the effort to shove Biden aside. Obama suggested having a "choice" in his statement about Biden dropping out of the race.

But the Kamala pick undercut that whole idea. According to this "source," Obama is "furious" that things haven't gone his way. 

Another well-placed Democrat source said, “Obama being surprised by a smart political decision actually makes sense when coupled with his personal inability to see politics beyond his singular, immediate interests.

Hmm, I wonder who that "source close to the Biden family" is. Whoever is leaking this is leaking to hurt Kamala but maybe also to suggest here that Obama got outflanked by the incoherent Joe Biden or his team. 

It's basically forcing Obama's hand, if this report is true, if he doesn't have others on board with whatever else he may have had in mind, given that most of the other leading Democrats have come out for Harris. 

There's another report from NBC that Obama does plan to endorse her but just didn't want to "overshadow" Joe Biden's moment including his address. That doesn't make a lot of sense —that didn't stop any of the other Democrats. I think once you have the delegates go to her (although without any vote of the people), that forecloses other options, so you're sort of backed into a corner. 

But we'll have to see. Right now, Obama not saying anything still looks like a pretty deafening silence.
