Allen further detailed how Obama worked behind the scenes to influence the nomination process. “And he worked really behind the scenes for a long time to try to have a mini-primary or an open convention or mini-primary leading to an open convention. He did not have faith in her ability to win the election,” Allen explained. “So, and as it turned out, she didn’t win, but he was really working against her.”
One of the more shocking revelations involves a key phone call between Obama and Congressman Jim Clyburn of South Carolina, set up on the very day Biden passed the torch to Harris. The book alleges that Clyburn, suspecting Obama’s intentions, rushed to endorse Harris before the conversation took place. “And Clyburn thought to himself, ‘This guy is going to try to rope me into the open convention thing. I better get my endorsement of Harris out there fast.’”
The book also details how Obama hesitated to offer his immediate support to Harris. “When Harris talked to Obama on the day that Biden handed off to her, Obama was unwilling to give his endorsement then,” Allen noted.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump was asked about the possibility of facing off against Obama, should there be a way for either of them to serve a third term. Fox News’ Peter Doocy raised the question after Trump recently hinted at a rumored constitutional loophole that might allow him to run again despite the 22nd Amendment.
“I’d love that. I’d love that. I would like that. Boy, that would be a good one,” Trump said in response to the idea of running against Obama.
While dismissing any immediate interest in testing such a legal theory, Trump acknowledged hearing speculation about it. “People are asking me to run in a whole story about running third term. I don’t know, I have never looked into it. They do say there is a way to do it. I don’t know about that, and I have not looked into it. I want to do a fantastic job,” he said.

The former president then pivoted to his administration’s accomplishments, emphasizing the rapid pace of progress. “Four years, time is flying, but still four years, and we are getting a lot of credit for doing a great job in first almost 100 days. We have big things we will announce in the next few days. And I think it will be something that will bring a lot of wealth back to the country, tremendous wealth back to the country, actually.”
The revelations in FIGHT paint a picture of deep divisions within the Democratic Party, with Obama playing a far more active role in shaping the race than previously known. With the 2024 election looming, these insights raise serious questions about the party’s leadership and unity as they prepare to take on Donald Trump once again.
