Former US President Barack Obama does not support the nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, writes The New York Post. The reason is that, according to him, she cannot defeat the Republican candidate Donald Trump, sources close to the Biden family told the publication, as quoted by Focus.
"Obama is very upset because he knows she can't win," says the interlocutor of the publication and adds that Barack Obama considers her incompetent.
At the same time, the NYP source does not have high hopes for a televised debate between Trump and Harris.
"Wait for the debate. Harris will say inappropriate things about Israel, Palestine and Ukraine. She's bound to say something very stupid," insists the interlocutor.
He added that Obama and US President Joe Biden knew this was going to happen.
According to the source, Obama had hoped to "get Biden out of the way," and George Clooney's op-ed in The New York Times calling for the Democratic leader to resign was part of that plan.
