Townhall, April 4, 2024. Obama is reportedly panic stricken, losing sleep, and weight over the very, very strong possibility that President Trump will be reelected in November. According to a New York Times report, Obama is still as active in the White House as he was during his time as president— regularly making calls and visiting Biden over concerns he will lose the 2024 election. But Obama is also aware that Biden while never a genius, also has dementia, so no matter what advice he gives Biden, he will never be able to carry it out. Panic has set-in at Democrat-land.
The report noted that Obama has been meeting with White House chief of staff Jeff Zients and top Biden campaign aides, citing “grave concern” amid an “incredibly” close upcoming presidential race.
The anonymous aide said that Obama has “always” been worried that Biden won’t be able to pull enough votes to secure another term in the White House against Trump. The aide said that the former Democrat president is prepared to “eke it out” alongside Biden as Trump is making the greatest political comeback in U.S. history.
For the next seven months, a specific area of focus for Obama will be making fundraising appeals and helping to motivate young Americans, particularly Black and Latino voters, who have been completely alienated by Biden. Obama has no plans to hit the stump aggressively until the fall, when early voting begins, following a pattern he has adopted since leaving office. Saving the former president until the end of the race – at the time when voters are paying the most attention – is how Obama and his advisers believe he can be the most effective. But this approach runs the risk that Trump could be so far out in front by that time, a juggernaut, that Biden could never catch up no matter what Obama, or anyone else does. Or maybe the late start is Obama's face-saving device in a race that he knows is already lost for Biden (i.e. well, if they had just used me earlier, etc., etc.)
