CNN spoke with more than a dozen Democratic officials close to both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom said the end of the Biden candidacy is clear and it remains to be seen how it will play out.
In their private conversations, Barack Obama and the Nancy Pelosi have spoken with concern about the future of his campaign Joe Biden and whether the American president is capable of defeating him again Donald TrumpCNN reports, adding that neither of the two powerful Democrats is sure what to do.
According to information from the American network, the Democrats are desperate and are begging Obama and Pelosi to lend a helping hand, given that the leader of the majority in the Senate Chuck Schumer he does not have the confidence of Biden and that the leader of the minority of the House of Representatives Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t have the depth of relationship to get the message across.
CNN spoke to more than a dozen members of Congress, officials and multiple people in contact with both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom said that the end of the biden candidacy is clear and it remains to be seen how it will turn out, even after the press conference Thursday night.
Top Democrats say the two top executives need to come clean as soon as possible before more damage is done, less than four months before the election.
Many of Pelosi’s colleagues believe she can end the thriller that has plagued Democrats for the past two weeks. And the end may come if and when he tells Biden he has to drop out of the race.
Pelosi has spoken with Biden since the tragic debate, but the Democratic iron lady has since made it clear that she does not see Biden’s decision to stay in the race as final. But she, through an assistant, declined to comment further.
Obama’s silence for two weeks after the debate left several top Democrats feeling he had left them hanging.
After the debate, Obama wrote to X: “Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know.”
He repeated the same at a Democratic event in New York.
Obama has not planned to make a public statement, but his own aides and Biden’s aides coordinated to get the post out, in a way reminiscent of a 2012 Obama debate that took an ugly turn but didn’t consequently abandoning the race.
However, CNN points out, Obama’s innermost thoughts about his friend’s ability to win the election are one of the worst-kept secrets in Washington.
When the history of this two-week period in American politics is written, the fingerprints of Obama and Pelosi will be far more visible than is known today, people familiar with the matter tell CNN.
“They’re watching and waiting for President Biden to come to a decision on his own,” one Democrat told CNN, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid being seen as disrespectful to Biden.
Biden’s campaign declined to comment, while Pelosi’s entourage denied there had been a discussion with Obama.
Obama, according to people close to him, is fielding many calls from concerned Democratic donors and officials, but he is listening more than talking, carefully avoiding taking a position that could quickly leak.
