I don’t think they are withholding support, there’s no sense in getting all the announcements out all at once.

There was a load of suggestion the mid-term 2022 elections would be a red wave. Didn't happen. Quite the reverse.
Energized Dems win. There are hopeful signs of energy now on their side and pitiful panic on the other. Nice to see.
Still loads of time.
If Biden had announced his intention not to seek another term prior to the primaries, do you all think Harris would have been the nominee? Or someone else?
I’m assuming the VP would have a real advantage but I don’t t know much about other potential Democratic nominees

Which Dem enters as a candidate?
Can’t think of a single one of those who would likely have tried if there had been an open primary who hasn’t already endorsed Harris apart from an utter wild card like Oprah. Think most have looked at the logistical difficulties involved in trying to set up a national election campaign and win in 100 days and taken a pass.
Also saying that the Obama’s are withholding support and asking for an open contest seems like reading a bit too much into a fairly ambiguous statement.
“We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. 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. And I expect that every single one of us are prepared to carry that message of hope and progress forward into November and beyond.”
Let us see what the next week brings - it was only 9 days since Trump was shot and that seems weeks ago!
Its crazy how quickly that left the news cycle.
Sadly shootings are so common that, even when the target is the former president, it doesn’t really surprise anyone and it fades from page 1.
Unfortunately for the victims and their families/friends the impact is very long term.
It doesn't look great if, along with Pelosi and Schumer, the Obama's were the ones talking Biden down from the ledge one minute, then pledging support for Harris straight off the bat.
They will endorse her eventually.
I think the Democrats are trying to avoid the appearance of a set up, at all costs.

Well, it seem that the Democrat's have been burning the midnight oil since Biden stepped down yesterday.
Trying to hit the ground running?
Better late than never guess...
