Both Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi are concerned about Joe Biden’s chances of beating Donald Trump.
Democrats are looking to Speaker Pelosi and President Obama to stop the infighting within the Democratic Party over Joe Biden.
Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi have privately discussed the future of Joe Biden and the 2024 presidential election. Both the former president and the former speaker expressed concern about how difficult it has become for the president to beat Donald Trump. Neither is quite sure what to do.
Democrats, eager to end the depressing infighting so they can get back to the fight to defeat the former president, are pleading with either Mr. Obama or Ms. Pelosi to help, knowing that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer does not have Mr. Biden’s confidence and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries does not have the depth of ties to get the message across.
CNN spoke to more than a dozen lawmakers, officials and multiple people in contact with Obama and Pelosi, many of whom said the end of Biden’s nomination is clear, and even after Thursday night’s press conference, it’s just a matter of how it all plays out at this point.
And if the pair believe otherwise, several leading Democrats argue, they need to say so clearly as soon as possible, with less than four months to go until the election, before more damage is done.
Recent reports suggest that President Obama did not object to George Clooney’s op-ed calling for Joe Biden to drop out of the race.
George Clooney gave former President Barack Obama advance notice of a New York Times op-ed calling on Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race, but the former president made no attempt to block it, a shocking new report revealed Thursday.
Obama did not encourage or advise Clooney, but he did not oppose him either, a source told Politico.
Clooney’s request sent shock waves through the Democratic Party and reports that President Obama was aware of it have sparked speculation that he is secretly working to oust Biden from the nomination, despite his public defense of the president after his disastrous debate performance.
“The Biden campaign and many Democratic insiders believe that Barack Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate this,” MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, a frequent liaison with the Biden campaign, said Thursday about Clooney’s op-ed.
