Obama said he has “extraordinary confidence' that party leaders will create a process that will produce an 'outstanding nominee.'
In this July 14, 2014 file-pool photo, Vice President Joe Biden listens as President Barack Obama speaks in the East Room of the White House in Washington.
Obama called Biden, his former vice president, “one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me.” Obama said Sunday that when he picked Biden as his running mate in the 2008 campaign, “what I came to admire even more was his character — his deep empathy and hard-earned resilience; his fundamental decency and belief that everyone counts.”
Obama said Biden “has never backed down from a fight,” adding that “he wouldn’t make this decision unless he believed it was right for America. Of what’s to come, Obama said he has “extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges.” That nominee will face Republican and former President Donald Trump in November.
