2024 election live updates: Clintons privately backing Biden: Sources

Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton are privately supporting Biden and have been encouraging donors to continue giving and stick with the president, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

One source described the Clintons’ support as "encouraging," "supportive" and "deferential" to Biden’s decision to stay in this race.

Several members of Biden's senior staff including, deputy chief-of staff Annie Tomasini and Steve Richetti, the president's counselor, are in Rehoboth, Delaware where he is recovering from COVID-19.

As they have been since the debate, Richetti and Biden’s senior staff continue to “listen” and “hear out” concerns from donors, lawmakers and party leaders, but "not agreeing" with their views, according to the source.

Their message to those skeptics is that the president has a “hardened perspective” and is committed to this race.

At this point, so much 🐂💩 is floating around via the media, talking heads & Dementiacrats, I don’t believe any of it. When FJB actually steps down, then I will believe he’s stepping down. As long as he hasn’t actually stepped down, he’s running. No one is FJB’s friend, even Jill MacBeth. All parties are using (beating a dead horse at this point, IMO) a thoroughly nasty, corrupt, addled old man for their own purposes: power & money. Frankly, it’s shaping up to be the ignominious end that FJB earned & deserves and to the end, he’s proving Obama correct, at least on his opinion of FJB: “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f**k things up” (August 2020).

Hillary simply doesn’t want to be the only democratic candidate to lose to Trump.

“Hillary simply doesn’t want to be the only democratic candidate to lose to Trump.”

I think he’s hardened his heart. That happened to another tyrannical leader, according to the Bible. Didn’t turn out well for him either.

This is simple. Biden kicks Kamala to the curb for her malfeasance, buts Hillary on the ticket as Veep, then resigns after the election for health reasons, and Bob’s your uncle as the native speakers of the island nation formerly called the United Kingdom used to say.

This may turn the tide. I think Clintons don’t like Obama. Jill hates kamala. Those two things have bidens dug in.

If this was the case, Snakehead would not have been the speartip of trying to dethrone Biden long before the debate.

Snakehead doesn't take a piss without talking to Bubba. So this article is Cankles attempting to foment plausible deniability because it is her donors that were first to demand Bidendropov drop out.

These tech guys are political naifs, dickdumb about the Swamp game, and they all want something for their money.

Go back and look who were the first to flip out - ✔Kalifornia ✔under 40 ✔dumb as a box of rocks.

Sounds like the D party is still dominated by the Clinton/Obama feud.

Wouldn’t it be grand if the volleys being fired by each side ended us being the documented evidence showing the whole truth of what all these evil bastards have done to the country?

This doesn’t seem to agree with the Clinton inner circle.
This feels more like a planted Clinton story.

No. They no doubt had someone put that out there. It is a feint. Such a sentiment on the part of the Clintons would require positive aspects of character that they don’t possess.

The Hag is readying up her engines.

Hillary has worn out her welcome. She was supposed to have an easy run in 2008 and was defeated by The One in the primaries. She was supposed to trounce Trump in 2016 and ended up losing the election. The Democrats know she’s a lousy presidential candidate and I’m sure they’re tired of having to deal with the Clintons political baggage too.

Yes. She had some appeal to libs and feminazis once upon a time. But now she is damaged goods (and a drunk). I doubt she could raise enough money to compete. A lot of her support came from young unmarried 20-something white girls. Those girls are now entering middle age, and many have kids. That will make a lot of them grow up and look back on how dumb they were.

Hillary's base is composed of bitter divorced old menopausal childless White women.

Deferential? Watch out, Biden, they’re about to stab you in the back. If Hillary offers you some of her famous chocolate chip cookies, don’t eat any.
