Biden Family Source: Obama Hasn't Endorsed Harris Because He Knows She Can't Win

I don't get the whole Kamala Harris play. You staged a coup against Biden because he couldn't win, and now you anoint someone else who can't win?

This is what Obama must be thinking: We didn't stage a coup against one loser to nominate another loser.

Former President Barack Obama hasn't endorsed Kamala Harris' presidential bid because he doesn't think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family.

Following President Biden's shocking exit from the race on Sunday, and his immediate endorsement of the vice president, most of the Democratic elite have been quick to rally behind Harris -- but Obama is a notable exception.

"Obama's very upset because he knows she can't win," the Biden family source told The Post.

"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."

SHE WASN'T THE BORDER CZAR! SHE WASN'T THE BORDER CZAR! HERETIC! HERETIC! HERETIC!

"When you are running for president, there are things you can and can't say."

The turning point for Biden, 81, came after his disastrous performance against Trump in a televised debate in Atlanta last month -- which, The Post first revealed, was part of an "elaborate set-up" to remove him from the race.

But the source doesn't have high hopes for a TV debate between Trump and Harris. When Biden was still in the race, a second debate was scheduled for September 10.

"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 said.

...

"Obama knew this was going to happen, Joe knew this was going to happen. Now she is going to have to answer real questions."

After Biden's ouster, Obama -- who did not return a request for comment Wednesday -- wanted Arizona Sen. and former astronaut Mark Kelly "at the top of the ticket" when the Democratic National Convention is held next month, the source said.

Obama is "furious" that things haven't gone his way, "which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party's support of Harris," the Biden source added.

Another well-placed Democratic source said, "Obama being surprised by a smart political decision actually makes sense when coupled with his personal inability to see politics beyond his singular, immediate interests.

"Obama always thinks he is the smartest and coolest guy in the room. He's friends with George Clooney, after all."
