A recent report has shed light on Barack Obama’s private concerns about Joe Biden’s debate performance and its impact on Democrats’ chances against Donald Trump. While publicly showing support for Biden, Obama is said to have privately expressed serious worries, fearing that Biden’s performance could lead to Trump’s return to the White House.
Following the debate, calls for Biden to drop out have surfaced, with some elected Democrats urging him to step down. Despite the mounting pressure, only one Democrat has publicly called for Biden’s withdrawal from the race. However, a group of 25 House Democrats is reportedly considering making a similar move soon.

Despite the growing concerns within the Democratic Party, Obama continues to stand by Biden, offering support and advice as a trusted advisor and messenger to the voters. Although Obama has expressed worries about the challenging road to reelection, he has not publicly endorsed the idea of Biden dropping out, choosing instead to focus on assisting his former vice president based on their history of collaboration.
In the aftermath of the debate, which has highlighted questions about Biden’s physical and mental health, the Biden campaign, along with the White House and the Democratic National Committee, are scrambling to navigate the ensuing chaos. Obama’s active role in supporting Biden’s campaign through fundraisers and public appearances underscores his commitment to helping Biden overcome the challenges ahead.
The fallout from the debate not only underscores the concerns within the Democratic Party but also raises questions about Biden’s ability to secure the presidency. As the campaign faces increased scrutiny, Obama’s behind-the-scenes involvement and public support for Biden will prove crucial in the coming months leading up to the election.
