Obama Tells Allies to Reevaluate President Biden’s “Viability”
Показать описание
After weeks of insisting that he has no plans to bow out of the presidential race, President Joe Biden is reportedly being more “receptive” to the idea of ending his reelection campaign, according to multiple sources within the Democratic Party. At the same time, separate sources indicate that former President Barack Obama has begun telling party allies that his one-time running mate should “seriously consider the viability of his candidacy.”
First reported by the Washington Post, “multiple sources briefed on [Obama’s] thinking” say that “Obama has been deeply engaged in conversations about the future of Biden’s campaign, taking calls from many anxious Democrats” and attempting to protect Biden’s legacy.
Meanwhile, other Democrat insiders report to CNN that discussions with the president reflect a weakening stance headed into the election. According to the sources, Biden is “being receptive, not as defiant as he is publicly” on the subject of allowing Vice President Kamala Harris to take his place.
“He’s gone from saying, ‘Kamala can’t win,’ to ‘Do you think Kamala can win?’” the adviser said. “It’s still unclear where he’s going to land but seems to be listening.”
