At a private meeting with Black corporate donors in October 2019, former President Barack Obama threw his support behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., while showing "tepid" support for his former Vice President Joe Biden, according to an excerpt from the new book, "Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency."
The book excerpt, provided exclusively to The Hill, details how Obama made the case for Warren, while anticipating objections to her that "existed in the minds of his corporate and financial friends."
Asked why Buttigieg couldn’t win the nomination Obama cited his youth, and the fact that he is "short" and "gay."
On Harris, Obama merely acknowledged that he knew her, but offered "no further commentary." When an executive in the audience reminded Obama he had forgotten his two-term vice president, the former commander-in-chief was "apprehensive," according to the book.
