President Joe Biden is reportedly feeling “offended and betrayed” by former President Barack Obama’s lack of support for his 2024 re-election campaign. Obama has been hesitant to endorse Biden, citing concerns about his fitness for office and the mounting opposition within the Democratic Party.
Despite Biden’s calamitous performance in the first 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump, Obama has insisted that the decision to remain in the race is only for Biden to make. However, many Democrats believe that time is running out to get Biden out of the race with the Democratic National Convention just weeks away.
Obama finds himself in a delicate position, balancing his role as a party elder and an honest broker for Democrats seeking advice while avoiding being seen as betraying his former vice president. He has taken calls from congressional leaders, Democratic governors and key donors in which he has shared their unease about Biden’s campaign.

The tension between Obama and Biden has persisted since Biden launched his presidential bid in 2019, with Obama reportedly expressing doubts about Biden’s fitness for office. The two leaders have a complicated relationship, with disagreements on several issues openly during their time in the White House.
Despite the challenges, Biden remains resolute, indicating his intent to continue the race and face future debates head-on. However, the fallout from his debate performance has led to calls within the Democratic Party for him to contemplate stepping down as the nominee to prevent Trump’s return to power.
