President Joe Biden, battling a behind-the-scenes campaign led by former speaker Nancy Pelosi to abandon his reelection bid, appears to be getting unexpected support from a former rival—former first lady and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Biden, who famously resents being asked to step aside as the sitting vice president to make way for Clinton's losing 2016 presidential bid, is facing a full-blown revolt among party donors and elected officials in swing states and districts after a catastrophic debate performance against Donald Trump.
And yet, as his campaign's cash flow begins to dry up, Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton are asking donors to support Biden, Politico and CNN reported Saturday.
Biden and his top advisers have insisted he is not dropping out of the race—defiant over the calls to drop out and pushing back against the shifting polls toward Trump and Republicans in critical swing states.
Meanwhile, CNN and Politico reported on Saturday that the Clintons have been privately encouraging donors to continue backing Biden's campaign. According to CNN, one source said the Clintons are choosing to be "deferential to Biden's decision."
However, another source who has spoken with the Clintons in recent days said the couple is more accurately, "deferential to the process." CNN reported that this same source did not state whether the Clintons have expressed a personal view on whether Biden should continue seeking a second term.

Our God is above that and will not be mocked.
Hilary is “helping me”.
How’s that working out Joe ?
There are several media articles. I didn’t post NBC because I didn’t like their burying this story beneath a less interesting title.
It’s a sad state of affairs when we have to hope Joe stays healthy enough to keep the Laughing Hyena outta the #1 spot
