Barack Obama Applauds Joe Biden's Decision, Stops Short Of Endorsing Kamala HarrisFormer President Barack Obama applauded Biden's decision to leave the race. "Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me" said Obama, who chose Biden as his running mate in 2008. “For him to look at the political landscape and decide that he should pass the torch to a new nominee is surely one of the toughest in his life,” Obama continued. “We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama continued. “But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.”
