Obama asks Biden to reconsider 2024 race and drop out
In a surprising turn of events, former President Barack Obama has privately urged President Joe Biden to reconsider his 2024 re-election bid. According to multiple reports, Obama has expressed serious concerns about Biden’s chances against potential Republican candidates, particularly Donald Trump, whose polling numbers have been steadily improving.
Obama reportedly conveyed his concerns during a private meeting, emphasizing that Biden’s approval ratings are alarmingly low and that the Democratic Party might be better off with a different candidate. “To save America and the Democratic Party,” Obama is quoted as saying, “it might be time to step aside.”
The former president’s intervention comes amidst growing anxiety among top Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, who have similarly warned that Biden’s candidacy could jeopardize the party’s control of Congress Polls have indicated a significant lack of enthusiasm among voters, with Biden’s performance rating plummeting to 38 percent approval.
Sources close to the situation described a tense meeting where Obama bluntly addressed Biden’s fading public support and increasing doubts about his capacity to handle the rigors of the campaign and presidency. “He looks more feeble and clueless every day,” an insider noted, reflecting widespread concern within the Democratic establishment.
Obama’s involvement signals a critical juncture for the Biden administration. Despite these high-level appeals, it remains unclear whether Biden will heed the advice. The President has so far shown determination to pursue a second term, frequently dismissing the growing calls for him to step down.
This situation underscores the broader dilemma facing the Democratic Party as it strategizes for the upcoming election, balancing the need for a strong candidate against the reality of Biden’s current political standing.
