He had so far remained neutral. But after the withdrawal of Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama gave, Tuesday, his official support to Joe Biden for the presidential election in November, believing that his former vice-president was best placed to "guide" America in crisis coronavirus.
I'm proud to endorse my friend @JoeBiden for President of the United States. Let's go: https://t.co/maHVGRozkX
- Barack Obama (@BarackObama) April 14, 2020While the Covid-19 killed nearly 25,000 people in the United States, Barack Obama made himself solemn, saying that the next American president should "rebuild the economy". “And I think Joe has all the qualities we need in a president right now. Joe has the temper and the experience to guide us through some of our darkest hours and heal us during a long recovery, "he says." That's why I am proud to support Joe Biden to become President of the United States ”.
Obama as a unifier
Barack Obama highlights Joe Biden's “empathy” for the middle class, and his resilience after several family tragedies (the death of his wife and daughter in an accident a week after his election to the Senate in 1972, and the death of his son Beau, who died of cancer in 2012). The former president insisted, "Joe was by my side when we rebuilt after the Great Recession and saved the auto industry." "Joe helped me manage H1N1 (flu A) and prevent the Ebola epidemic from turning into a pandemic like the one we see today."
Barack Obama positions himself above the fray and tries to rally the Democratic Party after the long primary. He pays tribute to Bernie Sanders, who "fought to make America fairer" and believes that "youthful enthusiasm" will be essential to defeating Donald Trump in November. We await the response of the current president on Twitter.
