A bombshell new book, Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for the White House by Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes, is exposing what many of us on the Right have suspected all along—Barack Obama never wanted Kamala Harris to be the Democratic nominee. He tried to stop her. And when he failed, he staged a fake, carefully negotiated endorsement that says more about the state of the Democratic Party than it does about the candidate he ultimately “supported.”
This isn’t just another palace intrigue story. It’s a damning confirmation of just how fractured, desperate, and hollow the Democratic leadership has become behind closed doors.
The Puppet Master Pulls Back—And Then Panics
According to the authors, Obama spent months behind the scenes trying to orchestrate an open primary after it became obvious Joe Biden couldn’t finish the race. Not exactly a vote of confidence in the man he once called “the best choice to lead America.” But worse than that, Obama didn’t want Kamala Harris as Biden’s replacement either.
Let that sink in.
The man who helped elevate Harris in 2020 turned around and tried to block her four years later. Why? Because he believed—rightly—that she couldn’t beat Trump. Sources close to Obama told the authors he had “no faith in her ability to win the election.”
So what does that say about her as a candidate? And what does it say about the party that backed her anyway?
It’s a question Democrats don’t want to answer. But Fight forces them to.
Democrats Knew Biden Was Done—But Played Along Anyway
The book reveals that everyone in the inner circle—from party elites to campaign aides—was fully aware that President Biden was in cognitive decline. They knew. And yet, they let the charade continue, gaslighting the American people with claims of “economic recovery” and “strong leadership” from a man who could barely stay upright at press conferences.
Once Biden finally dropped out, it should’ve been a moment of clarity for the Democrats—a chance to reset and take a long, hard look at who could actually unite the party and compete in the general election. Instead, they rushed to coronate Harris with no real primary, no vetting, and no serious discussion.
They didn’t choose her. They settled for her.
And Obama? He tried to stop it. But when his quiet rebellion failed, he did what Democrats do best—crafted a narrative, complete with a choreographed video “surprise” phone call and a painfully scripted campaign rollout designed to save face.
Fake Endorsements and Fractured Alliances
The Harris campaign, worried about money and optics, negotiated with the Obamas for days just to get a basic show of support. What should have been an obvious endorsement became a backroom deal. According to Fight, Harris had to “fake surprise and enthusiasm” in a pre-planned video call with Barack and Michelle Obama. The authors rightly call it “typical bulls—.”
This wasn’t leadership. This was theater.
The script wasn’t just designed to make Harris look good—it was designed to elevate the Obamas, to make it look like Harris needed to beg for their blessing. It was a humiliating moment disguised as a unity message. And it’s no wonder Harris was “very annoyed,” as the book puts it.
But if she was annoyed, imagine how the voters should feel. Especially the ones who were led to believe this was all democratic, transparent, and above board.
Behind the Curtain: The Democratic Machine is in Crisis
What this book confirms is something we’ve been saying at Steadfast and Loyal for years: the Democratic Party is controlled by a small elite, and that elite doesn’t even trust the people they put in front of us.
Obama didn’t trust Biden to keep going. Obama didn’t trust Harris to take over. And yet both were shoved into place by the same political machine he helped build.
Now they want us to believe this is the party of “democracy”?
No primary. No choice. No accountability. Just stagecraft and desperation from people more interested in maintaining their grip on power than in serving the country.
Final Thoughts
Fight lays it all bare. It’s not just a story about Biden and Harris—it’s a story about the collapse of trust, the abandonment of leadership, and the brutal civil war simmering just beneath the surface of the Democratic Party.
It’s also a warning: this is what happens when you build your movement around power, not principle.

And for anyone still wondering who’s really in charge… this book suggests it’s not Harris. And it’s not even Biden. It’s the puppet master himself—panicking as he watches his legacy unravel.
