Former President Barack Obama and other top Democrats are pushing President Joe Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race, according to multiple reports.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that Obama has only spoken to Biden once since the sitting president's disastrous presidential debate against former President Donald Trump. The outlet noted that Obama "has been clear in his conversations" with others that he alone could influence Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential election.
However, Obama has reportedly "been deeply engaged in conversations about the future of Biden’s campaign" with allies and has spoken about Biden's political "challenges" with top Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
According to multiple sources connected to Obama, he told Democratic leadership that Biden's "path to victory has greatly diminished," and the 81-year-old president "needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy."
