Asked last month if Obama would endorse Rangel, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters he would "have to get back to you on that." He didnt
It's not the first time Obama has declined to back Rangel. Shortly before the 2010 censure vote against Rangel over ethics allegations, Obama said Rangel was "somebody who's at the end of his career." He went on to say, "I'm sure that what he wants is to be able to end his career with dignity."
Rep. Charlie Rangel, D-N.Y., on Tuesday will face the toughest challenge of his career over the seat he has held for the past 41 years
The results of the New York Democratic primary could spell the end of Rangel's storied and controversial career in the House of Representatives. While Rangel, 82, campaigned hard in the remaining weeks of the race, he fought questions of whether past ethics issues and a three-month absence due to a back injury impede his ability to serve in Congress. State Sen. Adriano Espaillat, 57, poses the biggest threat to Rangel's bid for a 22nd term with a campaign mantra of "it is time for a change."
