Former President Barack Obama has played a significant role in advising Vice President Kamala Harris as she deliberated on her choice for a running mate. A senior aide revealed to CNN that Obama, who shares a longstanding relationship with Harris spanning nearly two decades, has been in frequent communication with her since the commencement of her presidential campaign two weeks ago.
While Obama refrained from showing any favoritism towards a specific candidate, he served as a sounding board for Harris, providing a platform for her to discuss her strategic approach towards securing the White House. The aide mentioned that Obama attentively listened to Harris and her vetting team as they presented their arguments.
