Former president Barack Obama did not endorse Kamala Harris’ presidential bid because he doesn’t think she can beat Donald Trump, according to a source close to the Biden family. 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 said. “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.

Donald Trump had already agreed to a second scheduled debate with Joe Biden for Sep. 10 on ABC News. However, now that Biden has withdrawn from the race, much speculation has risen around whether Trump will agree to debate Kamala Harris—who has announced she intends to run for President

NBC TV sources said that advisers to Barack Obama and Harris also discussed the possibility of them appearing together during the election campaign, while Obama's wife Michelle is also reportedly backing Joe Biden's VP.
