Obama praises Biden's presidential bid, but no formal endorsement
President Barack Obama is weighing in on Joe Biden's entry into the 2020 presidential race, saying through a spokeswoman that selecting Biden as his running mate in 2008 was "one of the best decisions he ever made."
Obama did not endorse Biden, nor is he expected to endorse any candidate early in the Democratic primary. But the fact that he released a statement - something he has not done after any other candidate announcements - underscores his close personal bond with Biden.
