Obama's Scheming Has Backfired SpectacularlyJake Wallis Simons from The Telegraph UK 2:15 PM | July 27, 2024
Does anybody truly believe that Kamala Harris has the “vision, the character and the strength that this critical moment demands?” A few people might, I suppose, but they are unlikely to include the Obamas, who dragged their feet for the best part of a week before finally endorsing the vice president in her run for the top job today.
Yet those very words were taken from the Obamas’ statement. You could almost hear the crack of gritted teeth. “There is no doubt in our minds that Kamala Harris has exactly what it takes to win this election and deliver for the American people,” the couple insisted, trying to persuade themselves as much as anyone else.
In recent days, rumours have swirled in Democrat circles that the former president was the “conductor leading the orchestra that convinced Biden to step aside,” in the words of Rod Blagojevich, a former governor of Illinois who branded Obama a “threat to democracy” in the Wall Street Journal this week.
Obama is “running the Democratic Party like a Chicago ward boss, from the shadows in the back room,” Blagojevich added, sniping: “In this case, it’s a big back room because he has a lot of big houses.”
