The man who recently participated in a fundraiser for Biden’s 2024 campaign for president and took him by the hand and led him off stage is now suggesting Biden should drop out.
Obama isn’t saying it publicly, but rather is telling top Democrat privately that the polls are now against Biden and he should reconsider his candidacy.
Here’s more from WAPO:
Former president Barack Obama has told allies in recent days that President Biden’s path to victory has greatly diminished and he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy, according to multiple people briefed on his thinking.Obama has spoken with Biden only once since the debate, and he has been clear in his conversations with others that the future of Biden’s candidacy is a decision for the president to make. He has emphasized that his concern is protecting Biden and his legacy, and has pushed back against the idea that he alone can influence Biden’s decision-making process.
Behind the scenes, Obama has been deeply engaged in conversations about the future of Biden’s campaign, taking calls from many anxious Democrats, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and has shared his views about the president’s challenges, according to people with knowledge of the calls, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
In some conversations, Obama, who has long looked to data for political insights, has told people he is concerned that the polls are moving away from Biden, that former president Donald Trump’s electoral path is expanding and that donors are abandoning the president.
The pressure continues to build to extremes now. Biden knows that if he remains stalwart they really can’t remove him as the nominee. But with Obama now against his candidacy, will he continue to spit in the faces of all these calls for him to withdraw? I sure hope so.
