Trump taunts Biden for lack of Obama endorsement

President Trump at Wednesday's coronavirus task force press briefing spoke about the Democratic presidential primary, touching on Sen. Bernie Sanders withdrawal from the race and Joe Biden's lack of an endorsement from former President Barack Obama.

“It does amaze me that President Obama hasn't supported sleepy Joe. It just hasn't happened," he said. "When is it gonna happen? Why isn't he? He knows something that you don't know, that I think I know, but you don't know."

Trump predicted that Obama will eventually offer an endorsement, saying that the former president "certainly doesn't want to see me for four more years" and that "we think a little bit differently."

Sanders on Wednesday announced the suspension of his campaign and acknowledged that Biden would be the eventual nominee. But Sanders also said that he will remain on the ballot in upcoming states and will continue amassing delegates in order to wield influence at the party's convention.

"He didn't really drop out," Trump remarked, noting Sanders' decision to keep delegates and collect even more.

"That's not dropping out, when you keep your delegates and then you want more delegates before you get to the convention, that's a weird deal going on there," Trump said.
