Obama not yet endorsing Vice President Harris after Biden decision to drop out

Former President Barack Obama's statement on President Biden's decision to end his reelection campaign noticeably didn't include an endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris. CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, Robert Costa, Ed O'Keefe, John Dickerson and Margaret Brennan have more on that.

The corporate media does more instigating than reporting the news🤦🏽‍♀️🙄

[mufflejoy]

Why would the Obamas jump the gun? They don't run an impatient news cycle.

[Myrrhkuri]

uhm Obama is basically saying a process...like a primary..duh...if the president steps down the PEOPLE are the ones that are supposed to choose who they want...not the government..

[chriscaliente]

He hasn’t endorsed her because it’s not official yet.

[Firefly-]

I really do believe politics is the most filthy job

[danrich]

Why not back Harris? Because it's been like 5 minutes. Everyone should at least take some time to explore options based on this new development.

[richardsimms]

I suspect that the Obama will be enthusiastic about Ms Harris

[Miamipiano]

Obama should wait until Biden addresses the country

[sandipmishra]

Giving up power??? His party and donors gave up on him 😂 Such selfless sacrifice 😂😂😂

[Dewdrops]

And neither has Bush 43, the only living former Republican president ever endorsed Trump. Neither will his VP or over 30 delegates from his administration...
What's your point, ?

[demoy]

I wonder what’s in his emails that he slammed the computer so quickly 😂

[elizabethheyenga]

Media is becoming as histrionic as celeb culture. Everything is a big deal, they have to jump on within 15 minutes of the announcement. Calm Down.

Why would you choose her? What did she do for the country in the last four years?

[francosalinas]

Of course not. She won’t win. She not likable

[highoncash]

Its been 5 seconds, quit trying to make controversy!! She doesn't need his endorsement. Her achievements and experiences are her endorsements. Im so sick of this crap from mainstream media.

Obama will endorse Kamala, later and it will provide more television time….. just like Nancy will do. All part of keeping them in the media..

[gangstagrandma]

This should have been decided the minute Biden was elected. It's clear Harris cannot win. Way to go Democrats. I'm so disappointed in how this was handled since the writing was on the wall.

[cheetahsandhippos]

Bernie would be a game changer for the Dems

[vox]

Obama needs to go away and retire he had his time time for new leadership

[johnrussell]

haha !! seriously, shut up with all the covid BS, that story is over
