According to Obama, Harris will not get a free ticket! The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, had warned: "It should not look like a succession of the throne, but it should be a democratic process."
For nearly four weeks, Joe Biden struggled to fend off increasingly strong calls to withdraw after his disastrous televised appearance.
On Sunday, the 81-year-old finally turned off the presidential 'faucet' and abandoned his plan to continue the race for the White House.
"Joe Gjumashi", as critics mock the current president, wants to support his deputy Kamala Harris from now on.

According to the New York Post, nearly $50 million in additional donations were raised after Biden announced his X withdrawal.

In plain language: According to Obama, Harris will not get a free ticket! The former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, had warned: "It should not look like a succession of the throne, but it should be a democratic process."
Why Barack Obama - unlike the six black US attorneys general - did not endorse Harris is anyone's guess. It is possible that his wife, Michelle Obama, will enter the race. However, she rejected the political circus. Where does he know... / Taken from BILD
