WASHINGTON — Sick with COVID and abandoned by allies, President Joe Biden has been fuming at his Delaware beach house, increasingly resentful about what he sees as an orchestrated campaign to drive him out of the race and bitter toward some of those he once considered close, including his onetime running mate Barack Obama.
Biden has been around politics long enough to assume that the leaks appearing in the media in recent days are being coordinated to raise the pressure on him to step aside, according to people close to him. He considers Rep. Nancy Pelosi, the former House speaker, the main instigator but is irritated at Obama as well, seeing him as a puppet master behind the scenes.
The friction between the sitting president and leaders of his own party so close to an election is unlike anything seen in Washington in generations — especially because the Democrats now working to ease him out were some of the allies most critical to his success over the last dozen years. It was Obama who elevated Biden from a presidential also-ran to the vice presidency, setting him up to win the White House in 2020, and it was Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, who pushed through Biden’s landmark legislative achievements.
But several people close to Biden, who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal matters, described an under-the-weather president coughing and hacking more than 100 miles from the corridors of power as his presidency meets its most perilous moment.

So I can see why Obama chose Hillary over Joe in '16.
Hey Peter Baker, ain’t no one gonna remember your name 10 years from now. None of you NYeT schnorrers gonna get Bidendropov to leave because he’s YOUR CREATION, you mfrs.
Hah! I perused them, too. I’m sure when they give Joe the mean GO medicine behind closed doors, he can rant with Hitler or Hillary.
I don’t know who Magde is, but she sounds like Jill after Joe’s funeral.
Biden fumes?? You mean during the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.? The rest of the time he is crashed out on his couch with Dr. (not a med dr.) Jill rubbing his temples??
I invested in popcorn. All they care about is “The Party”....like all good Bolshevics.
Why? Did the beach house tell him to resign, too? #TimesEditorsSuck
A few weeks ago I saw some articles about whistleblowers appearing if Biden didn’t drop out. Those articles disappeared, but something like that happened. It’s a limited hangout. They wouldn’t want anybody to think they had been hiding the truth for years. Whatever we see on the surface, it’s a lot worse.
Good one. He’s probably standing outside shaking his cane, and screaming at poor house.
Could Elon summon up some of his wizardry and create a tsunami to strike Rehoboth Beach?
