The title is somewhat misleading. The article contents repeatedly state that Obama is intently avoiding looking like he’s trying to influence Biden’s decision.
One is man who compromised too much to the right and the other is a inside trader
If we exclude those people we’ll have like 6 Democrats left to work with. And 0 Republicans, which would be nice.
She’s also, astonishingly, older than Biden.
There’s a black and white photo of her as a whole adult at JFK’s inaugural ball. Maybe she should sit this one out. If her brain isn’t decaying due to age, it definitely is from spending her whole life in politics. (Her dad was mayor of Baltimore so “whole life” isn’t even hyperbole.)
Doesn’t this walking corpse ghoul of a woman have a freezer stocked with multiple tubs of $20 ice cream and thinks that’s relatable?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
CNN spoke with more than a dozen members of Congress, operatives and multiple people in touch with both Obama and Pelosi, many of whom say that the end for Biden’s candidacy feels clear and at this point it’s just a matter of how it plays out, even after Thursday night’s news conference.
When the history of this extraordinary two-week period of American politics is written, the fingerprints of Obama and Pelosi will be far more apparent than currently known, people familiar with the matter tell CNN, as the Democratic elders have served as a guidepost for a party in panic.
In conversations with some Democrats over the past two weeks, Obama has swatted away the notion that he could push Biden one direction or the other even if he wanted to, which underscores their long-running complicated, yet loyal, relationship.
Biden has written that he felt Obama was not encouraging of his jumping in late to the Democratic primaries in the months after his son Beau died in 2015.
Though Obama believes that he was trying to help his then-vice president focus on his grief and not wade into what would have been an incredibly hard primary campaign against Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, that may not be how another conversation would go.
The infamous video of Obama leading Biden off stage, people familiar say, was more a function of the former president wanting to leave.
