The former president used to be incredibly close to Joe Biden. But that relationship is changing fast.
And Barack Obama doesn’t hold back in his latest betrayal of President Biden.
Panic has officially hit the Democrat Party.
President Joe Biden couldn’t have had a worse performance than the one he had during last Thursday’s debate with former President Donald Trump.
Biden looked frail, often-times confused, and overall very weak both physically and mentally.
And because of that, Democrat politicians and strategists across the country are worried that he has virtually no shot to defeat Trump in the general election in November.
Even some of Biden’s biggest allies feel this way.
Barack Obama Hits the Panic Button Over Biden’s Reelection Chances
In a recent development reported by the Washington Post, former President Barack Obama has expressed private concerns regarding President Joe Biden’s chances of securing reelection. This marks a stark contrast to Obama’s public statements, where he has remained a steadfast supporter of Biden.
The Washington Post article highlighted that Obama has conveyed to his allies that President Biden’s path to reelection has become increasingly difficult following a lackluster debate performance against former President Donald Trump. “Former president Barack Obama has privately told allies who have reached out to him that President Biden’s already-tough path to reelection grew more challenging after his shaky debate performance on Thursday — a harsher assessment of the presidential race than his public comments, according to several people familiar with his remarks,” the report noted.
Despite these private concerns, Obama publicly maintained his support for Biden after the debate. “Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know,” Obama said in a post on X last week. He emphasized that the election remains a critical choice between two vastly different paths for the country.
“But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself,” Obama stated.
He continued, “Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit,” concluding, “Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November.”

Lauren Hitt, a spokeswoman for the Biden campaign, reiterated Obama’s unwavering support in a subsequent statement. “President Biden is grateful for President Obama’s unwavering support since the very start of this campaign as both a powerful messenger to voters and a trusted adviser directly to the president,” Hitt said.
According to sources cited by the Washington Post, Obama spoke with Biden over the phone following the debate. However, it remains uncertain if they directly discussed Biden’s reelection prospects.
The report also indicates that Obama’s concerns about Biden’s chances have persisted since last year. “Obama has long harbored worries about his party defeating Donald Trump in November, repeatedly warning Biden in recent months about how challenging it will be to win reelection. Just before the debate, Obama conveyed to allies his concerns about the state of the race,” the Washington Post noted.
The article further elaborated, “For months, Obama has shared with Biden and friends his deep concerns about Trump’s political strengths and the real possibility he is reelected in November.”
Barack Obama can see the writing on the wall at this point. And it doesn’t look good for Joe Biden and the Democrats.
