Insiders claimed that former President Barack Obama doesn’t think President Joe Biden can win in November and is advocating for him to withdraw from the 2024 race, RadarOnline.com claims.
The outlet reported that Biden “is stubbornly ignoring polls, pals, and [Obama], who are all allegedly telling the 81-year-old he needs to quit the 2024 race to save America and the Democratic Party.”
The report said that, according to insiders, tensions between Biden and Obama “exploded” after an “irate” 44th president went into a secret meeting and “confronted Biden” about his falling poll numbers as he attempted to fend off the likely GOP nominee Donald Trump, who has been surging in the polls.
“Obama read Joe the riot act,” a Beltway insider claimed to the National Enquirer. “He told him to up his game or step aside for a candidate who could win the race.”

America’s first Black president, 62, has betrayed his old running mate before. He endorsed Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election despite Biden’s declared goal to take the top job.
Incredibly, Joe seems almost oblivious to the lack of excitement about his campaign and cratering approval ratings. Recent polls show a scant 38 percent of American’s approve of his performance with a whopping 58 percent holding a negative opinion of his work.
It is interesting to note that comments made by former first lady Michelle Obama during a recent podcast have led many to speculate that she is positioning herself to become the Democratic nominee rather than Vice President Kamala Harris, who is reportedly less popular than Biden.
Appearing on Jay Shetty’s “On Purpose” podcast, the host asked her what keeps her up at night.
“What keeps me up are the things that I know: the war in the region, in too many regions. What is AI going to do for us? The environment, you know, are we moving at all fast enough?” she began.
“What are we doing about education? Are people going to vote? And why aren’t people voting? Are we too stuck to our phones? I mean, these are the things that keep me up because you don’t have control over them, and you wonder, where are people, where are we in this, where are our hearts? What’s going to happen in this next election?” she added.
