In response to Biden’s bid, Obama spokeswoman Katie Hill said that the former president “has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made.”
Former Vice President Joe Biden, who has finally announced his 2020 candidacy, seems like a shoo-in to receive Barack Obama’s highly coveted endorsement. But the former president spent a lot of time talking up other Democratic candidates before Biden entered the race.
In response to the former vice president's bid, Obama spokeswoman Katie Hill said that the former president “has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made.” Obama has reportedly either met with or has offered advice to nearly half of the 2020 candidates, mostly in secret, including Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg.
During Sanders’ 2016 presidential bid, Obama praised the senator’s small-dollar fundraising operation. It wasn’t the only time Obama commended Sanders during the campaign, even though he eventually endorsed Hillary Clinton.
