Behind the scenes in recent months, former President Obama has gone to bat for Warren when speaking to donors reluctant to support her given her knocks on Wall Street and the wealthy.
And if Warren becomes the nominee, Obama has said they must throw the entirety of their support behind her.
A source close to Obama said the former president would go to bat in the same way for any of the Democratic candidates running for president, pointing to comments Obama made last month.
Last week, more than 200 lower- and mid-level Obama staffers who worked on his presidential campaigns and in his administration threw their support behind Warren.
To date, Warren has been unable to secure more senior-level Obama veterans.
Obama remains "Incredibly fond" of Biden and is watching his campaign with interest, said one Obama ally who has spoken to the former president.
Obama hasn't publicly singled out any of the candidates but occasionally, behind closed doors, he'll offer assessments when he is asked.
