The one person who knew that the Joe Biden presidency was something other than Obamas third term” was Barack Obama.  If Obama had any illusions about his control over events, he was rudely disabused of them on July 21, 2024.  This was the Sunday on which Biden dropped out of the presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris.

The announcements caught Obama flatfooted.  Biden had not consulted with his former boss either on his decision to drop out nor on his decision to endorse Harris.  At 12:46 p.m. EDT, Biden posted on X his intention to withdraw.

The endorsement of Harris, also on X, came at 1:13 p.m.  The media have expressed no curiosity about the 27-minute gap.  If pressure had been brought on Biden to endorse Harris, the Obamas werent the ones bringing it.

The Clintons are another story.  At 2:10 p.m., Bill and Hillary posted a joint statement on X, declaring, We are honored to join the President in endorsing Vice President Harris and will do whatever we can to support her.”  At 2:34 p.m. Alex Soros, scion of the Soros evil empire and fiancé of Hillary intimate Huma Abedin, posted on X, Its time for us all to unite around Kamala Harris and beat Donald Trump.”  By days end, just about every prominent Democrat had hopped on the Harris bandwagon.

Every prominent Democrat except the Obamas.

People noticed.  At 9:10 p.m. on July 21, the New York Times ran a story headlined, Why Obama hasnt endorsed Harris.”  As the days counted down without an Obama endorsement, some Democrats in Congress openly criticized the former president.  As for the media, they chose not to inquire too deeply about the hesitation.  At this point, they were all in for Kamala.  Internecine friction did Harris no good.

The New York Post played by its own rules.  One source within the Biden family told the Post, Obamas very upset because he knows she cant win.”  The anonymous source made the credible claim that Obama, working through proxy George Clooney, had helped launch the coup against Biden but was shocked” when Biden endorsed Harris.  Said another source, Obama always thinks he is the smartest and coolest guy in the room.  Hes friends with George Clooney, after all.”

Finally, on July 26, Barack and Michelle announced, We couldnt be more excited for her — or more thrilled to endorse Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States.”  By this time, no one believed them.

Less than a month before the election, the Obamas hit the campaign trail on Harriss behalf.  To remain relevant in Democrat circles, they could not do otherwise.  Baracks initial assignment was to hector black men into voting for Harris.
