Obama, worried about Trump, urges Biden circle to bolster campaign

The former president shared his thoughts about the reelection campaign during a private lunch with Biden at the White House​

Former president Barack Obama has raised questions about the structure of President Biden’s reelection campaign, discussing the matter directly with Biden and telling the president’s aides and allies the campaign needs to be empowered to make decisions without clearing them with the White House, according to three people familiar with the conversations.

Obama grew “animated” in discussing the 2024 election and former president Donald Trump’s potential return to power, one of the people said, and has suggested to Biden’s advisers that the campaign needs more top-level decision-makers at its headquarters in Wilmington, Del. — or it must empower the people already in place. Obama has not recommended specific individuals, but he has mentioned David Plouffe, who managed Obama’s 2008 race, as the type of senior strategist needed at the Biden campaign.

Hilarious!

There, uncle Joe.
You just need another prop to keep you upright.

Im sure the real reason he was there was to try and convince Joe to drop out for the good of their party.

So. A private lunch between a former president and the current one, discussing election strategies. And the Washington Post just happens to be there, so we can know about it. Because, of course, when one discusses election strategies in high stakes elections, one discusses them where the press can hear about it. That's not a set-up. Oh no, not at all.

This is putting the ball squarely in creepy Joe's court. It says "if you fail at re-election it is completely your fault because none of your campaign managers have any real control over the situation. Likewise, if you succeed, you're completely competent because you handled that election masterfully."

As if Joe was anything more than a dementia-addled puppet.

It takes Trump to get Obama animated. He isn't particularly animated at the best of times. He needs more Trump in his life! We all do
