Jill Biden added to endorsement to the letter written for Joe when he was forced to bow out. It was a middle finger to the Party and mainly Obama. Obama wanted a primary to push his boy Jeffries ,but with the endorsement Obama had to support the black female canidate, he had no choice. The Obama's ate shite with that endorsement and it caught them off gaurd. That is why it took nearly 3 days for him to come out and endorse her and the left's twitter influencers had no idea either ,because they usually put out a uniform narrative from a script and they were all over the place. The politics of intersectionality came back to frick them in the arse and it was Jill Biden who did it. They all knew she was unelectable.

That isn't saying Obama was a great president, but candidate wise he gave the Dems someone who could actually win. They have not really had anyone worthwhile since then.

But even Obama was/is an empty suit as a candidate. He was a professional political agitator who didn't complete his one term in the Senate. And if not for his opponent's divorce records being unsealed he probably loses his first Senate race. He had one of the thinnest resumes for a presidential candidate of the last century. He's become something of a template for the Democrats in that their party is littered with people now who have virtually no experience doing anything but political agitation (AOC, Mamdani, Brandon Johnson, that loon mayor of Seattle). Harris, for all her incompetence and incoherent babbling, on paper, is more qualified than a lot of their up and comers.

I'm still scratching my head about it. She wasn't popular within the party and they trotted her out there anyways..
Rumors at the time were that Biden (likely Jill) insisted on it. Pelosi, Obama, and others wanted to have an open convention. Biden flatly refused to withdraw if the result would be an open convention.. I'm not sure outsiders know the exact calculus behind decisions coming out of the Biden camp. Did they realize that Kamala was doomed to fail, and gave Pelosi and Obama a "choice" with a big middle finger greeting? Did they present Kamala as an extension to the Biden administration? Did Joe Biden's recollection of the Chicago convention in 1968 drive the opinion?

I chalked it as conceding defeat and trying to burn her out of the 28 pool as a bad candidate that was seen as being owed the opportunity by many

But here she is acting like she’s going to run so we will see what support they give her

Desperation. They were stuck with a ego maniac who lacked the self awareness that he was a vegetable, but all of America could see it. The only way to keep the money they had raised to run was for Kamala to stay on the ballot. It was really that simple, Biden forced them into it by not keeping his campaign pledge of running for only one term.

Money, pure and simple. Harris already had it. Anyone else would have to arrange and set up donors, develop a campaign infrastructure, etc. The Democrats really had no other practical choice at that point. They were screwed after that debate, and they knew it.

They were hoping to have an open convention and pick someone else but Joe tossed his hat to Harris and they were stuck with her dumbass. So Joe got payback for being undermined.

It’s not enough that dems run a candidate that can win, they have to run one that is fully owned.

How exactly did Kamala become black? She likely has some African Negro genetics, but not much. Her mother was South Asian and her father of record appears to have more Caucasian genetics than Black African.

I think Joe got backed into a corner with his promise to appoint a ''Black woman'' VP and had to name a pretend Black.

Stacey Abrams the whale was politicking hard for the job and had to be blocked.
