Barack Obama Got Biden!

Barack Obama endorses Joe Biden.
It's time.

44 endorses his former vice president for Democratic nomination.

A big endorsement for Joe Biden in his race to the White House. The presumptive Democratic nominee is the underdog in this race. Biden will have to do a lot of work to win this. Donald J. Trump and his allies are not letting this coronavirus stop them from demonizing him.

Former president Barack Obama has endorsed Biden for president.



The former president released a 12 minute video said that Biden is the right kind of leadership.

He said Biden is "the kind of leadership guided by knowledge and experience, honesty and humility, empathy and grace."

"That kind of leadership doesn't just belong in our state capitals and mayors offices, it belongs in the White House," Obama said. "And that's why I'm so proud to endorse Joe Biden for President of the United States."

Barack H. Obama II was president from 2009 to 2017 helped build a coalition of young voters and people of color. He is the first African American candidate to become President of the United States.

He picked Biden after the two were once rivals in the 2007-08 Democratic presidential campaign.

Biden was Obama's most trusted advisor. He helped Obama win over the Rust Belt, Florida and North Carolina.
Obama relied on Biden for advice and considered him a great friend. The former president endorses him for nomination.
Obama won Indiana and North Carolina, two states that voted Republican for the last three elections.

During his two terms, Obama face obstruction from Republicans. Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had vowed to make "Obama, a one term president." He denied Obama a third pick for the Supreme Court.

McConnell has also stopped the impeachment trial of Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States. Trump is the third U.S. President to be impeached while in office for high crimes and misdemeanors. He wasn't convicted by the Senate.

Obama was never impeached. Matter of fact, Obama pulled America out of a recession and left Trump with a stable economy. Now we're on the brink of financial collapse. We're in a health pandemic and a whole lot of uncertainty coming into November.

Trump still has a chance to win reelection and I still believe he does have favorable odds.

Biden has to work hard to beat back the misinformation from Trump and the Bernie Bros. The Bernie Bros are a remnant of insurgent anarchists who supported Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) during his presidential bid. They claim they're not going to vote for Biden regardless of what he does.

Obama did his part to pull the party together. He called Sanders right after the senator decided to exit the race. He said that Sanders has "bold ideas" would be needed in order to fix the American economy.

"And that only happens if we win this election. Because one thing everybody has learned right now is the Republicans occupying the White House and running the U.S. Senate are not interested in progress, they're interested in power," said Obama.

Trump and Biden can't campaign while the coronavirus pandemic is active. Trump has improvised. He has done live Coronavirus Task Force pressers which seem like campaign rallies.

Most news outlets have cut the pressers.

I would be shocked if George W. Bush, the 43rd President of the United States who is a Republican endorses Biden for president. The Bush family despises Trump. So I won't be too surprised.
