Obama shares concerns about Biden’s campaign
Former President Barack Obama has reportedly expressed concerns about the candidacy of his close friend Joe Biden in the upcoming US presidential elections. According to a report from The Washington Post, Obama shared his worries with his inner circle after Biden’s first live debate with Republican opponent Donald Trump on CNN.
During a phone call with Biden following the debate on June 27, Obama allegedly told Biden that the decision regarding his candidacy was entirely up to him. The report also mentioned that Obama had received calls from worried Democrats who were concerned about Biden falling behind in the polls.
It was reported that Obama believed Biden was straying from the path to victory in the November 5 elections and suggested that Biden reconsider the sustainability of his candidacy. This comes after some billionaire donors to the Democratic Party had also expressed concerns about Biden’s candidacy.
The first live debate between Biden and Trump on June 27 raised discussions about Biden’s health status, as the 81-year-old Democrat faced criticism for his performance. Some members of the Democratic Party and supportive media outlets called on Biden to withdraw from the presidential race due to concerns about his age.
Despite admitting that his health condition was not what it used to be, Biden reaffirmed that he was the best alternative to Trump and announced that he would not withdraw from the race. As the election approaches, the dynamics of the presidential race continue to evolve, with Biden facing scrutiny over his candidacy while Obama and other Democrats closely monitor the situation.
