President Biden is reportedly feeling a sense of betrayal and anger towards Democratic Party leaders, accusing them of contributing to Donald Trump's election in 2016 by favoring Hillary Clinton over him. Sources close to Biden revealed to NBC News that he believes the party is attempting to push him out of the presidential race.
A source emphasized that the same individuals who are now advocating for Biden to step aside were the ones who sidelined him in 2015 in favor of Hillary Clinton. The source highlighted the inaccuracy of polling data in the 2016 election, which had indicated a significant lead for Clinton over Trump. This serves as a reminder that polls can be unreliable, as evidenced by the unexpected outcome of the election.
The source further suggested that Biden may have a better understanding of the concerns of everyday Americans compared to prominent Democratic figures like Obama, Pelosi, and Schumer. The source's candid remarks reflect the frustration felt by those closest to Biden regarding the current situation.
Several Democrats have publicly urged Biden to withdraw from the presidential race, adding to the pressure he is facing from within his own party. The internal discord within the Democratic Party underscores the challenges and divisions that exist as the 2024 election approaches.
