Politico is just reporting that Obama is now set to endorse Kamala for President:
Former President Barack Obama plans to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid and that endorsement could come as soon as today. https://t.co/OVORioz1ns

This was entirely predictable. Obama didn’t get his way with the astronaut and while he still believes she can’t win, he surely doesn’t want Trump to win so he has no choice but to endorse Kamala, especially since Biden backed him into a corner with his quick endorsement.
But what was so predictable is that he’s reluctantly endorsing her after the New York post exposed his true feelings about it. He can’t be seen as the one top Democrat who won’t endorse her, so he’s jumping on the endorsement bandwagon.
