Though former US President Barack Obama put pressure on Joe Biden to step aside and allow someone else to contest the US Presidential Election 2024, he did not rush to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris. He is yet to endorse the first woman vice president of the country for the highest office. Obama is not alone in doing so. Many senior Democrats including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries declined to immediately endorse Kamala Harris, reports 'Fortune'. Instead, they praised the incumbent president for the service he has rendered to the nation.

a meeting with fellow California Democrats last week, former Speaker Nancy Pelosi stressed the need for an open process to choose the party's next nominee if President Joe Biden steps aside, in an effort to avoid the appearance of a Kamala Harris coronation.
The discussion in that meeting of the California delegation, which includes 40 members, took place in the Capitol on July 10, at least partly focused on the complicated next steps for the Democratic Party if Biden left the ticket. And they specifically talked about the potential political downsides of party elites quickly crowning the vice president as the next nominee, according to four people familiar with the discussion, granted anonymity to discuss private conversations.

Had Obama been able to run... Trump would have lost and would be in Prison after a Jury of his Peers put him there.
