Obama tells allies Biden’s path to winning reelection has greatly diminished

The former president, hugely influential in the party, has told associates that Biden’s path to victory has significantly shrunk.

Former president Barack Obama has told allies in recent days that President Biden’s path to victory has greatly diminished and he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy, according to multiple people briefed on his thinking.

Behind the scenes, Obama has been deeply engaged in conversations about the future of Biden’s campaign, taking calls from many anxious Democrats, including former House speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), and has shared his views about the president’s challenges, according to people with knowledge of the calls, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.

...

Congress’s top Democrats, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) and Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.), have both spoken directly with Biden in the past week, warning about the widely held concerns that his candidacy could hurt the chances for Democratic control of either legislative body next year.

Pelosi has taken an even more active role behind the scenes, resisting efforts by Biden to end the debate about his continued candidacy, according to people familiar with her efforts, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.

Either way we were voting for a president Harris. That doesn't change anything.

He's done. There's no way his campaign is surviving to November.

- The party leaders are all starting to turn on him

- 65% of DEMOCRATS think he should withdraw

- Every flub he makes in a speech is now getting national news coverage

- He just caught Covid (again) and is isolating in his Fuhrerbunker-...er, Delaware home

- Joe Scarborough of all people thinks he's done (and that guy's wife is FAMILY FRIENDS with the Biden clan)

- Trump is crushing him according to polls

What a clusterfuck. If only Democrats and the media had been honest with themselves from the beginning, they could have dealt with this problem two years ago. Instead, they waited until the elections are just months away and are now completely imploding as a cohesive party.

Say it with me. 47th President of the United States, Donald Trump. It's happening.

I hope that Hillary runs again, Trump would defeat her a second time and then lock her up!

Biden should tell Nancy he will resign when she resigns and all this talk about getting him off the ticket will end. She will see to it that the whole party unites behind Biden.

The Democratic rebels along with the corporate media are burning the party to the ground. The way this is going Republicans are going to sweep in a once in a generation landslide.

Democrats and the corporate media are essentially telling voters to not bother turning out because their votes don't matter. The oligarchs pick the winners.

Voter turnout is going to be absolute trash.

Nice to see you and AOC are still on the Team Biden train at least :)

Democrats who have a viable political future and dreams of being president also are still behind Biden. Newsom absolutely wants Biden to stay in the race so he doesn't get asked to run. No Democrat with any political clout wants to run this term whether it be as the VP for Harris or as the candidate for president. It would be a career ender.

Kargen is correct. No democrat wants to run against trump. His victory is inevitable. He survived a murder. He has been hounded by the doj over bullshit charges and he is still standing.

The democrats are basically gonna give up this cycle.

What they are terrified of is how big trump wins. Does he go into the white house with a majority in the house and senate ?
