At a private meeting with Black corporate donors in October 2019, former President Barack Obama threw his support behind Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., while showing “tepid” support for his former Vice President Joe Biden, according to an excerpt from the new book, “Lucky: How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency.”
"So, what if she raises your taxes a little bit? Compare that to what we have now," Obama reportedly said, referring to then-President Donald Trump. Obama said he would support Warren if she won the nomination, and reportedly "stressed that he wanted Wall Street and corporate types to do the same." "’Everyone in this room needs to pull their weight,’ he said. Republicans, he continued, are winning cycle after cycle, up and down the ballot, because their donors care more than the Democrats’ donors."More Related News
