Former President Barack Obama's statement on President Biden's decision to end his reelection campaign noticeably didn't include an endorsement for Vice President Kamala Harris. CBS News' Norah O'Donnell, Robert Costa, Ed O'Keefe, John Dickerson and Margaret Brennan have more on that.

  • The corporate media does more instigating than reporting the news🤦🏽‍♀️🙄
  • @Miamipiano33
    Obama should wait until Biden addresses the country
  • @Dewdrops7560
    And neither has Bush 43, the only living former Republican president ever endorsed Trump. Neither will his VP or over 30 delegates from his administration... What's your point,?
  • @Myrrhkuri
    uhm Obama is basically saying a process...like a primary..duh...if the president steps down the PEOPLE are the ones that are supposed to choose who they want...not the government..
  • @mrsj5773
    Obama will endorse Kamala, later and it will provide more television time….. just like Nancy will do. All part of keeping them in the media..

    Who open up the can of Diet Coke?
  • @danrich6448
    Why not back Harris? Because it's been like 5 minutes. Everyone should at least take some time to explore options based on this new development.
  • @mufflejoy
    Why would the Obamas jump the gun? They don't run an impatient news cycle.
  • @richardsimms251
    I suspect that the Obama will be enthusiastic about Ms Harris
  • @ralemc1960
    You will wait a long time for President Obama to ever endorse Harris.
  • @kevinPat6754
    I voted for Biden in the primary now they are going to choose for me i don't think so
  • @demoy1193
    I wonder what’s in his emails that he slammed the computer so quickly 😂
  • @gangstagrandma
    This should have been decided the minute Biden was elected. It's clear Harris cannot win. Way to go Democrats. I'm so disappointed in how this was handled since the writing was on the wall.
  • @raymondmix1763
    Why would you choose her? What did she do for the country in the last four years?
  • @akrossmann1631
    Please practice proper journalism language ...it is "former president Obama" not president Obama that historical time has passed.
  • @highoncash
    Its been 5 seconds, quit trying to make controversy!! She doesn't need his endorsement. Her achievements and experiences are her endorsements. Im so sick of this crap from mainstream media.
