  • Wow I guess voting in a primary is no longer based on the choice by the people? When did we lose that power?
  • @Dontwlookatthis
    I wonder if and when George W Bush will also endorse her. If not, he probably will vote for her, unless Hillary jumps in.
  • @subiethingz
    Because who else been the puppet master for the past 4 years
  • @joejoey6511
    Well no one thought those two guys would endorse Trump
  • @OldNaCl2
    Everyone should revisit the 2020 debate to see what Biden and Harris really think about each other.
  • @user-nb9jm3xo8u
    What did the Obama's gain for their endorsement of Khatty-Kamala?
  • @jvann6399
    Must be nice for the Dems to have someone running for President that the ppl did no pick
  • Cant wait for a permanently open border and losing my house! Im voting Harris!
  • @suebryant-q7o
    So they do it over the phone because they didn’t want us to see their faces when they had a lie to the public😂😂😂
  • @pohanahawaii
    😅 Because an endorsement from the most precise, well-spoken public figures in recent years would offset the word-salad imprecision that is Kamala Harris whenever she talked?
  • @JayP-y8n
    Obama voice sounds like he isnt excited about endorsing her.
  • @cindycliburn716
    It doesn't. They cant help her. She failed at everything shes touched .
  • @iam4740
    Um, any politician that asks for public monies to help with campaign costs, is not worth being supported by their own party.
