President Joe Biden is reportedly fed up with his pals, former President Barack Obama and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over what many are calling a coup d’état within the Democratic Party’s nomination process.
Several people close to Biden told the New York Times on Friday that the embattled president sees Pelosi as “the main instigator” and Obama as “the puppet master behind the scenes” in efforts to remove him from the 2024 race.
Biden’s anger seems to be triggered by a plethora of leaks and stories from anonymous sources suggesting he has considered passing the torch to a successor, likely Kamala Harris, his equally unpopular vice president.
According to the Washington Post, 37 lawmakers have called on Biden to exit the ticket. One of those lawmakers is Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a close Pelosi ally who many believe got Pelosi’s approval before backstabbing Biden.
Despite these demands, Biden has pledged to remain in the race ahead of the Democratic National Convention.
“I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump’s Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America,” Biden wrote following President Donald Trump’s monumental Republican National Convention.
While Obama has not publicly called on Biden to step down, he has also not defended him since the “bloodbath” presidential debate, perhaps aware of his former vice president’s cognitive decline.
As reported by the Times, a source close to Obama admitted that the former president was “startled and shaken by how much Mr. Biden had aged and seemed disoriented” at a multi-million-dollar fundraiser. Viral video showed Biden frozen while cheering the crowd at the fundraiser, prompting Obama to direct Biden to the exit.
While the Times does not specify who its sources were, former Obama aides Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer criticized the White House for scolding them over comments made on Pod Save America—a podcast launched by former “Obama bros.”

And then Trump taunted him over and over about being “low IQ” and “stupid” at the Grand Rapids rally. Biden hates that.
Woods misses the fact that the party can do what they want. It has nothing to do with constitutional law. The “party” has its own rules.
Please correct me if I’m wrong.
But it is indeed ironic that the party is in the process of selecting the “best candidate” to “save our democracy.”
Will never happen.
Will never happen.
Two-thirds, not three-quarters. Of both houses.
There is a reason I struggled in math classes
i would not vote for Mr. Biden because of his leftist politics and because he appears ready for retirement anyway. But if he wants to run for a second term, who in hell are Pelousy and Obama to try sabotaging him? What kind of personal or party loyalty is that, anyway?
the D party “leaders” are frankly a really sickening picture
Yeah. The Convention has rules.
Only the convention delegates can change the convention rules.
I want to believe that but the polls are practically 50-50 or within the margin of error too much to have respect for the people.
Margin of error for polls will be replaced by the margin of Dem cheating. They’re pros.
No, no one on the left is seriously discussing Biden leaving office, through the 25th or a resignation. The reference in the article is to him dropping out of the race.
all Biden needs now is a wheel chair with a “ring for service” bell attached to it
Someone should send this idea over to the Trump campaign....
They probably wrote most of it to use in their false allegations.
I read the title as Biden Eff’d up w/Obama and Pelosi...
You can do it Joe! Don’t give up! Nancy and Obama are both lying dog faced pony soldiers! You can win the next debate. You can win four more Years! You and Dr. Jill are a great team and can lead America to the final victory!
High drama.
High drama.
High Noon
hang in there Joe! You show em who’s boss!
LMAO
