US EditionObama was 'not happy' with quick Pelosi endorsement of Harris, book says
Obama was displeased with Pelosi’s quick endorsement of Harris, preferring a longer nomination process and doubting Harris’s electability, despite widespread rapid endorsements.
- Just 24 hours after President Joe Biden ended his 2024 bid on July 21, 2024, Rep. Nancy Pelosi endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, prompting Former President Barack Obama to call Pelosi demanding answers.
- Pelosi and Barack Obama had discussed using a short process or mini primary to pick a nominee, agreeing privately to abstain from endorsements after Biden considered leaving the race.
- A source close to Obama described the call as `good-natured ribbing`, but Pelosi aides said he sounded `genuinely irritated` and Paul Pelosi was reportedly stunned.
- Barack and Michelle Obama formally endorsed Kamala Harris on July 26, nearly a week after Biden’s exit, following quick backing from Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.
- A senior Biden adviser said Barack Obama doubted Kamala Harris’s ability to win and feared a quick coronation, while Jonathan Karl’s book frames this as a schism among Democratic Party leadership.
