I told you this was going to happen.

According to a source close to President Joe Biden’s family, Obama is upset over Harris’ potential nomination.
“Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source said. “Obama knows she’s just incompetent — the border czar who never visited the border, saying that all migrants should have health insurance. She cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her. when you are running for president there are things you can and can’t say,”

The source believes that just like Joe Biden, Harris will fail when she debates former President Donald Trump.
Harris had the worst approval rating ever recorded for a VP in a June poll from NBC, with 32% approval and 49% disapproval. -17, worst ever. That’s definitionally historically unpopular.

“Wait until the debate… She can’t debate. She’s going to put her foot in her mouth about Israel, Palestine, Ukraine. She’s going to say something really stupid,” the source added. “Obama knew this was going to happen, Joe knew this was going to happen. Now she is going to have to answer real questions.”
The source revealed that Harris was not at the top of Obama’s list of potential candidates. The former president favored Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) as the Democratic Party’s nominee.
The source revealed that Obama is furious that events did not play out the way he wants and has refused to join his party’s endorsement of Harris for that reason.
Another Democrat source, who spoke with The Post, insisted that it made sense that Obama was surprised by the political decision.
“Obama always thinks he is the smartest and coolest guy in the room. He’s friends with George Clooney, after all.”
Rod Blagojevich, former governor of Illinois, told The Post that Obama orchestrated Biden’s withdrawal.
“Without Obama, Biden is still the Democratic nominee. Obama was the conductor leading the orchestra that convinced Biden to step aside,” Blagojevich said. “He’s running the Democratic party like a Chicago ward boss from the shadows in the back room. In this case it’s a big backroom because he has a lot of big houses.”
