Obama says Democrats in "uncharted waters" after Biden withdraws
SUMMARY
Former President Barack Obama praised President Joe Biden as a patriot following Biden's decision to withdraw from the 2024 presidential race, highlighting Biden's impact and selflessness. However, Obama did not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination. Instead, he acknowledged the party is in "uncharted waters" and expressed confidence in the Democratic leaders to find an outstanding nominee. Obama emphasized the importance of Biden's vision for a united America and anticipated that this vision would be evident at the Democratic Convention in August. Although Obama had campaigned with Biden earlier this year, he remained publicly silent about Biden's potential withdrawal until now.
