Former President Barack Obama is pressuring President Biden to reconsider his 2024 run for re-election, according to a new report.
Obama and Biden have only spoken once since the president’s debate debacle on June 27 — but stressed during that conversation that his old running-mate’s chances of beating Donald Trump were “greatly diminished,” the Washington Post reported.
Reps for Obama did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Sources also spilled to the Washington Post that Biden’s former boss in the White House has been fielding calls with Democrats panicking on Capitol Hill — including House Speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Fifth graf: Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the two most influential party leaders in Congress, have both privately warned Biden, 81, about the possibility of a landslide loss for Democrats on Election Day.
