Endorsement

As of this morning, I still haven't heard Obama endorse Harris.

I'm of the opinion that Obama hasn't endorsed Harris because he's waiting to see how the runes fall and, if there's to be a competition for the Democratic nominee, Michelle Obama will announce she's putting herself forward.



Many political commentators and members of the public have suggested Michelle Obama as a strong candidate who could potentially defeat Trump. Despite this, Michelle Obama has consistently stated that she has no intention of running for office, citing the impact such a decision would have on her family and personal life​. However, Obama has a 50% approval rating among Democrats, versus a 42% rating for Harris.

Let's wait and see; however, it's currently looking like Harris is a shoo-in. There's always the possibility of a Michelle Obama running mate, although would she be interested in playing 2nd fiddle? I doubt it.
