Obama writes a generous and thankful letter to President Joe Biden praising his selfless decision to take himself out of the presidential nomination race, CBS News has the text of that letter.
What is fascinating is that the letter pointedly does not mention Vice President Kamala Harris. This fact is the letter's most notable quality. CBS observes:
Obama did not name or endorse Vice President Kamala Harris to be the nominee, even though Mr. Biden said she had his "full support and endorsement."
As a black former president, Obama is very nearly the only prominent Democrat who can diss Kamala Harris without being accused of racism. And he definitely has dissed her, by his omission. Obama writes:
We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.
If you know any Democrats, give them your sympathy. Theirs is a party in disarray.
