President Biden has enlisted top A-listers to help push his campaign for re-election, including former President Barack Obama. Following Biden's performance in the first presidential debate against former President Donald Trump, Obama reportedly offered words of encouragement to Biden. The Washington Post revealed that Obama privately expressed concerns about Biden's re-election prospects post-debate.
While an Obama spokesperson did not comment on the private remarks, a Biden campaign spokesperson emphasized Obama's unwavering support for Biden. Lauren Hitt, the spokesperson for the Biden campaign, stated that Obama has been a powerful messenger to voters and a trusted adviser to the president.
Although Obama has not publicly called for Biden's withdrawal, he urged his former vice president to continue pushing forward. Obama emphasized that despite a bad debate night, the election remains a choice between someone who fights for ordinary folks and someone who prioritizes self-interest.
Obama has acknowledged Trump's political strengths and potential to secure another term. As a prominent figure in the Democratic Party, Obama has actively supported Biden, attending fundraisers with influential figures like former President Bill Clinton, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts.
Obama's involvement in Biden's campaign underscores the high stakes of the upcoming election. Despite challenges, Obama's support and strategic engagement signal a united front within the Democratic Party to secure victory in November.
