[RevolverNews] Many political pundits find it hard to believe that the unsuccessful and unpopular Joe Biden will end up as the DNC candidate for 2024. Despite supposedly running a "campaign" at present, hardly anyone seems to care, and the majority of his party doesn’t want him to run. Beyond those challenges, Joe’s biggest problems are the scandals piling up around him and his crackhead son. The severity of these scandals has led many experts to believe they might ultimately sink his 2024 bid. Meanwhile, Obama, who many believe is the shadow president pulling Joe’s strings, is keeping up political appearances and assuring Joe of his support for re-election. At the same time, Obama shares genuine concerns about President Trump’s soaring popularity.
Washington Post:
Former president Barack Obama, at a private lunch with President Biden earlier this summer, voiced concern about Donald Trump’s political strengths — including an intensely loyal following, a Trump-friendly conservative media ecosystem and a polarized country — underlining his worry that Trump could be a more formidable candidate than many Democrats realize.
Apparently, this was nothing more than a casual get-together between two "friends." However, it’s widely known that Obama can’t stand bumbling Joe Biden, and one would think that after the recent death of his personal chef on his property, Obama would have better things to do than shoot the sh*t with a man who can’t finish his own sentences. The WAPO piece continues.
At the lunch, held in late June in the White House residence, Obama promised to do all he could to help the president get reelected, according to two people familiar with the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversation.
That commitment was a welcome gesture for the White House at a time when Biden is eager to lock down promises of help from top Democrats, among whom Obama is easily the biggest star, for what is likely to be a hard-fought reelection race. The contents of the private conversation have not been previously reported.
Obama was visiting the White House for what Biden aides described as a regular catch-up between the two men who served in the White House together for eight years. During their lunch, Obama made it clear his concerns were not about Biden’s political abilities, but rather a recognition of Trump’s iron grip on the Republican Party, according to the people.
Obviously, Trump’s popularity is a major concern, especially for puppet masters like Obama, who are likely knee-deep in the plot to imprison President Trump for the rest of his life. Surprisingly, the more they indict him, the higher his popularity soars. It’s likely that Obama is watching this situation unfold, thinking, "We’re gonna to need a helluva lot more mail-in ballots."
