That Barack Obama is “secretly running things behind the scenes” of the Biden administration is a strong belief among some conservatives.
Of course, in our day and age when the entire national media and the president’s closest aides kept his condition under wraps, it would be near impossible to prove if it were true.
But regardless, Obama still holds an outsized influence and fondness in the Democrat Party, so what he thinks and says matters.
And reportedly, what he’s saying about Joe Biden is not good.
Obama Abandons Biden?
Democrats have been talking with Obama about Biden and the 2024 race, and at least according to CNN, the talk is not good.
Over a dozen Members of Congress and insiders have been talking with Obama, who thinks its “Joever.” The problem is, they don’t know what to do about it. They only know that it’s over, and the only thing left to do is watch how it dies.
It has honestly been shocking to see, and certainly unprecedented in my lifetime, elected Democrats and a goodly number of media figures actively call on a Democrat to step down. Especially a sitting Democrat President.
And it’s not just backbenchers, either. Pelosi has been in on the action. The current Democrat Minority Leader in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, has been all over the map.
Further, Obama was reportedly in-the-know regarding Hollywood actor George Clooney’s shocking call for Biden to drop out – and did nothing to dissuade him.
Incredibly, it’s reported that Clooney even called Obama ahead of time to give him a head’s up.
It should be clear to Team Biden that if Obama has real concerns about Biden’s ability to win the race, they should be listening. Obama ran two near-perfect campaigns and made it look easy.
Bunker Biden hid during his campaign and let the media (and altered election rules) do the work for him.
More Democrats Flee Sinking Ship
This kind of thing hasn’t been seen since 1968. (Or ’72.)
Here’s a full list of all the Democrats who have so far called on Biden to drop out:
- Rep. Brittany Pettersen of Colorado
- Rep. Eric Sorensen of Illinois
- Rep. Scott Peters of California
- Rep. Jim Himes of Connecticut
- Rep. Greg Stanon of Arizona
- Rep. Ed Case of Hawaii
- Rep. Brad Schneider of Illinois
- Rep. Hillary Scholten of Michigan
- Rep. Earl Blumenauer of Oregon
- Rep. Pat Ryan of New York
- Rep. Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey
- Rep. Adam Smith of Washington
- Rep. Angie Craig of Minnesota
- Rep. Mike Quigley of Illinois
- Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts
- Rep. Raul Grijalva ofArizona
- Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas
- Sen. Peter Welch of Vermont
One thing is for certain: if – and I’m being generous here – if Biden truly is incapable of running a campaign, forget about dropping out of the Presidential race.
He needs to resign his office, immediately.
If he’s incapable of a campaign, he’s incapable of running the government. Period.
