Biden tells Obama ‘she’s not as strong as me’ — and ex-prez agrees ‘that’s true’ at Ethel Kennedy service

WASHINGTON — President Biden griped to former President Barack Obama that “she” is “not as strong as me” — with Obama agreeing “that’s true” — in a stunning off-mic conversation deciphered for The Post by a professional lip reader.

The apparent candid assessment of Vice President Kamala Harris’ standing going into the Nov. 5 election occurred Wednesday afternoon as America’s two most recent Democratic presidents conversed at Ethel Kennedy’s memorial service in Washington.

“She’s not as strong as me,” said Biden, 81, according to the translation, which was produced by analyzing the on-video lip movements during the discussion.

“I know … that’s true,” the popular former president agreed, adding, “We have time.”

“Yeah, we’ll get it in time,” said Biden, who was forced by fellow Democrats to relinquish the party’s nomination in favor of Harris on July 21 in a mutiny that Obama was believed to support.

Was that the first time those two had met since Joe dropped out?

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.

When DJT wins, Biden will go all out with the narrative...

I was forced out and see what happened. I would have beat Trump.

Get what? A boatload of mail-in ballots shipped in the dead of night? A successful assassination of someone? A conviction of a certain candidate? What, Joe? What will you get in time?

Isn’t it amazing? Of all the elections cycles of my life this one takes the cake. Not even close.

Looks like some DNC CYA. Biden wants the old switcheroo, or since that's already behind us, the old oorehctiws, to swap him back into the nomination. Clinton's on the outside looking in, a pathetic has-been unindicted rapist.

From the look on their faces, my take was that Joe was begging Obama to put him back in the POTUS race.

Just ask Bill Clinton, he was trying to hear their conversation.

One of the YT body language people didn’t see such a nice conversation from Obama’s folded arms and from his looking away from Biden.

What sitting president would tolerate being forced out, a Midnight Special convention speech, told to go to Africa and more such terrible disrespect and disloyalty.

The polls show they are with her but if this happened to Trump I would be so angry with how it's played out. We would fully support Vance, probably agree Trump should have not run, but my heart would break if Trump were Biden right now.

If you’re “not as strong” as Joe... wow, that’s bad.

Two sexist men saying a woman isn’t strong enough to be President.

That is how the campaign should use it.
