The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Replying again, apparently Obama's endorsement is expected to come later today:

politico.com - Obama support kamala harris

Per the article, Obama is attributing the timing to what we discussed upthread: he didn't want to be seen as directing the party's choice of nominee. Not that he has any qualms about Harris, or wanted someone else:

But the wait before endorsing was intentional. A person familiar with Obama’s thinking said he didn’t want to put his thumb on the scale as the party worked through the process of determining its nominee.

“He believed it was important for the party to have a legitimate process where delegates select our new nominee, and he thinks VP Harris has been off to an impressive start,” the person said.
