Politico: “The idea here is that Obama, Pelosi, Jeffries, and Schumer do not want to be seen as back-room party bosses engineering a Harris coronation. And if there’s a real challenge then they want to be able to unite the party again when there’s a nominee.”
“Having said that, from our conversations on Sunday, we would not be surprised if one or more of the three congressional leaders (especially Schumer) gets on board with Harris this week.”
Said one insider about Obama: “Just like he did in 2020 once Joe Biden earned the nomination, President Obama believes he will be uniquely positioned to help unite the party once we have a nominee, lift-up that candidate, and do everything he can to get that candidate elected in November.”
