Obama Feared Biden Was ‘Tragicomic Caricature Of An Aging Politician Having His Last Hurrah’: Book

In April 2020, when Joe Biden announced he was running for president, former President Barack Obama issued a statement.

“President Obama has long said that selecting Joe Biden as his running mate in 2008 was one of the best decisions he ever made. He relied on the Vice President’s knowledge, insight, and judgment throughout both campaigns and the entire presidency. The two forged a special bond over the last 10 years and remain close today,” the statement said.
