Rhe Obamas didn't want Harris. Obama.said.
We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said in a statement applauding Biden for doing what the former president’s been beckoning him to do for weeks now. “But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. I believe that Joe Biden’s vision of a generous, prosperous, and united America that provides opportunity for everyone will be on full display at the Democratic Convention in August.”

Obama’s very upset because he knows she can’t win,” the Biden family source told The Post.
After Biden’s ouster, Obama — who did not return a request for comment Wednesday — wanted Arizona Senator and former astronaut Mark Kelly “at the top of the ticket” when the Democratic National Convention is held next month, the source said.
Obama is “furious,” things haven’t gone his way, which is why he is not joining in the Democratic Party’s support of Harris,” the Biden source added.
Obama reportedly only wanted Biden to step down and didn’t count on the president endorsing Harris right away. The report said the former president was “shocked” Biden did so. Obama apparently wanted Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), who is being floated as Harris’s running mate, to be the nominee instead.
