Does Biden have any supporters left?
Former President Barack Obama has reportedly told his allies in recent days that he believes President Biden needs to seriously reevaluate his candidacy.
The Washington Post initially reported Obama's concerns Thursday, citing multiple people briefed on his thinking.
A source familiar with Obama's thinking, asked about the new Washington Post report, tells Fox News that the former president “continues to see his primary role as a sounding board and counselor for President Biden, as they have long done for each other for many years now. He believes Joe Biden has been an outstanding President and is protective of him both personally and of the Biden administration's strong and historic accomplishments.”
Fox News reports more:
Obama reportedly has only spoken with Biden once since his disastrous debate performance last month. According to the Post, Obama has expressed serious concern to his allies, however, about the viability of Biden's candidacy and remains focused on preserving Biden's legacy.
In his discussions with others, Obama reportedly has emphasized that Biden alone can make the decision to step away from the race. Obama has also pushed back against the idea that he alone can influence Biden, his former vice president, to withdraw from his presidential re-election bid.
