Opinion: Biden leans on Obama, even without an endorsement

Then-Vice President Joe Biden waits for a meeting to begin in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington in October 2015. By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 30 at 3:06 PM Joe Biden’s greatest asset may be his service as President Barack Obama’s vice president.

If you didn’t know better, you’d think Obama had endorsed Biden. In fact, Obama isn’t picking anyone, leaving it up to the voters to select the nominee. However, his detailed and bountiful praise for Biden serves almost the same purpose. He even has a sentence in there reaffirming Biden’s vitality.

And now he has entered the race with a bang. CNN’s poll puts him at 39 percent, Morning Consult gives him 36 percent and Quinnipiac finds him at 38 percent — all well above where he was before entering the race.

Obama is holding out his endorsement, to endorse Trump, 11 days before the election. All the trumpeters will be like 'WTF MATE,' all frozen up like it's nuclear winter. 44 will invent a new play, we'll call it, 'the Comey.' But, Repubs will still win cause 45s getting primaried;)

Obama so reminds me of John F. Kennedy, who wasn’t keen on returning political favors. Had no problem asking for them, but giving them back was a different story.

Obama, my favorite POTUS since JFK, & Joe Biden were always a real & extraordinary competent & inspiring team. It was very impressive to watch them for 8 years. JoeBiden

He’s done the hard yards. when was hard work something to be hidden in the dark.

Obama selected Biden to be his VP. They were a great team. They WON 2 terms. Jesus, now he's not allowed to bring that up ? We LOVE Biden on his own too. That's why he has 40% of the vote right now.

Pathetic , even Obama won’t endorse him, why?

Weak

Leaning! More like bent over.

Here’s Bidan’s Achilles heal.... .....the Clarence Thomas nomination..... ...ready...set....lie Joe! 🍻

Biden is a simple guy with 0 substance. Career politicians and bureaucrats NEVER no better.

How about those great ratings for cnn and msnbc? Very well deserved! Just a subtle message for idiots!

JRubinBlogger JOE is 'leaning' on his own record in Obama-Biden administration. Stop the spin!

He WAS the Vice President he gets to use his time in that office as part of his resume with or without Obama's endorcement 💁

It's all he's got. Really.

SloppyJoe

Bedingfield also elaborated on Biden's appeal to Democratic voters. Like Obama or not, that's rich! LMAO! Who else will be blocked by Biden from endorsing him? Let's wait and see 🤔 Biden is a weak candidate and the Democrats would be insane to nominate him. He represents everything that lost them the election in 2016.
