Both Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are worried about Joe Biden’s chances of beating Donald Trump.
Democrats are looking to Pelosi and Obama to stop the infighting in the Democrat party over Joe Biden.
Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi have spoken privately about Joe Biden and the future of his 2024 campaign. Both the former president and ex-speaker expressed concerns about how much harder they think it’s become for the president to beat Donald Trump. Neither is quite sure what to do.
Democrats are desperate for the dispiriting infighting to end so they can get back to trying to beat the former president. And they’re begging either Obama or Pelosi to help them get there, aware that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer doesn’t have the trust of Biden and that House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t have the depth of relationship to deliver the message.
CNN spoke with more than a dozen members of Congress, operatives and multiple people in touch with both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom say that the end for Biden’s candidacy feels clear and at this point it’s just a matter of how it plays out, even after Thursday night’s news conference.
And if those two feel otherwise, several leading Democrats say, they need to say that clearly as soon as possible before even more damage is done less than four months before the election.
A recent report claimed that Obama did not object to George Clooney’s op-ed calling for Joe Biden to leave the race.
George Clooney gave Barack Obama a head’s up about his New York Times’ op-ed demanding Joe Biden drop out of the presidential race and former president did nothing to stop it, a shocking new report revealed on Thursday.
While Obama didn’t encourage or advise Clooney, he also didn’t object, sources told Politico.
Clooney’s demand sent shockwaves throughout the Democratic Party and the report that Obama knew about it is fueling speculation he is secretly working to oust Biden as the nominee – despite publicly defending the president after his dismal debate performance.
‘The Biden campaign and many Democratic officials do believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this,’ MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, who is frequently in touch with the campaign, said on Thursday of Clooney’s op-ed.
