Obama Silent on Harris: Democrats Divided Over 2024 Nominee

Former President Barack Obama refrains from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for the 2024 Presidential Election.
In a statement released earlier today, Obama expressed his confidence in the Democratic Party's ability to choose an "outstanding nominee" for the upcoming election. However, he notably refrained from endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris, who is widely expected to run for the Democratic nomination.
Obama's statement comes amidst growing concerns within the Democratic Party over Harris's ability to lead the party to victory in November. Some Democrats fear that Harris could further diminish the party's chances against former President Donald Trump, who is expected to run for re-election.
Obama's lack of endorsement for Harris could potentially damage her candidacy and encourage new candidates to emerge. This could also give cover to dissenters within the Democratic Party who are hesitant to support Harris as the nominee.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi also refrained from endorsing Harris in her initial statement on Biden's decision to step aside. This could further damage Harris's chances of securing the Democratic nomination.
Harris has faced criticism for her awkward public appearances, low approval ratings, and her widely criticized performance on items within her portfolio, including her role as Biden's so-called border czar. She currently has a 38.1% favorability rating, according to the RealClearPolitics average of recent polls.
Despite the lack of endorsement from Obama and Pelosi, some Democrats are still lining up behind Harris. Members of the House's far-left "Squad," including Representatives Ilhan Omar, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush, have expressed their support for Harris as the Democratic nominee.
However, it remains to be seen whether Harris will be able to secure the Democratic nomination without the endorsement of Obama and Pelosi. With the Democratic Convention just a few weeks away, the race for the nomination is heating up.
As the Democratic Party navigates uncharted waters in the days ahead, it will be interesting to see who emerges as the "outstanding nominee" that Obama spoke of in his statement.
