Trump campaign slams Obama's Biden endorsement: ‘Even Bernie Sanders beat him to it’

The Trump campaign argued Tuesday that former President Barack Obama was forced to endorse Joe Biden after sitting on the sidelines for the entirety of the 2020 Democratic primary cycle, noting even Bernie Sanders “beat him to it.”

Obama formally endorsed Biden on Tuesday after withholding support for any candidate for months.

But Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale blasted the move, saying the former president was left with “no other choice.”

“Barack Obama spent much of the last five years urging Joe Biden not to run for president out of fear that he would embarrass himself,” Parscale said Tuesday. "Now that Biden is the only candidate left in the Democrat field, Obama has no other choice but to support him.”
