Obama Insider Confirms Former President Ready to Back Whoever Wins 2020 Nomination, Even Bernie

"Whoever emerges from the primary process, I will work my tail off to make sure that they are the next president."

by Eoin Higgins, staff writer

Excerpt:

If Sen. Bernie Sanders is the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, he can reportedly count on the backing of former President Barack Obama.

That's according to a source close to the 44th president, speaking to The Hill, who said that Obama is ready to "go to bat" for whoever wins the nomination.

Obama himself said as much in mid-November at a Democracy Alliance event in Washington, D.C.

"Look, we have a field that is very accomplished, very serious and passionate and smart people who have a history of public service," the former president said, "and whoever emerges from the primary process, I will work my tail off to make sure that they are the next president."
