No, but I read an article. I can't find the original but if you search there are many articles. Here's one from yesterday. My post is being misunderstood. 

https://nypost.com/2024/07/21/us-news/barack-obama-doesnt-endorse-kamala-harris-says-dems-will-pick-outstanding-nominee/

And Sky news...

Again, it’s about how you framed it. Nowhere in either of those articles does it say Obama is going to endorse a surprise pick, you jumped to that conclusion.

These are his quotes in those articles:

We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead,” Obama said.

“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,” Obama said.

America’s first black president added: “For now, Michelle and I just want to express our love and gratitude to Joe and Jill for leading us so ably and courageously during these perilous times  —  and for their commitment to the ideals of freedom and equality that this country was founded on.”

I swear to God I read an article where it was mentioned, something about Obama dumping 20 million votes. It seemed legitimate. But alas, I fail to find it. At any rate it looks like Harris is the one getting the nomination so the article must have been BS anyway.
