President Biden delayed dropping out of the race in part because of concerns over Vice President Kamala Harris‘ chances of beating Donald Trump in November … at least according to a new report.
Biden and his senior advisors worried whether or not Kamala had the chops to take on Trump and win … and those concerns made POTUS hesitant to pull the plug on his reelection campaign.
Axios national political correspondent and friend of “TMZ Live” Alex Thompson cites three Biden aides in his report … and he says Biden’s “anxieties” are a reflection of a broader concern about Harris as the potential Democratic presidential nominee.
As you know … Biden finally caved Sunday and dropped out of the 2024 election amid mounting pressure to pass the torch to a younger candidate.
The Prez dropped the news on social media and then endorsed Kamala … as did the Clintons and a bunch of other prominent Dems.
Kamala appears to have the inside track on the nomination, but it’s not official yet … and it will be interesting to see if Biden was right to allegedly have some reservations about her.
Stay tuned …
