It has been revealed that former President Barack Obama privately warned Joe Biden about the political strengths of Donald Trump during a closed-door meeting. The meeting, shrouded in secrecy, took place as Biden was gearing up for his re-election campaign in 2024.
Obama, a seasoned politician who had experienced the full force of Trump’s campaigning prowess in the 2016 and 2020 elections, wanted to provide Biden with valuable insights into what he might face in a potential matchup against Trump, according to The Washington Post. The meeting between the two Democratic leaders was described as tight-lipped, with limited details emerging about the specific content of their discussion.
This revelation comes as no surprise, considering the high stakes of the upcoming election and the lingering influence of Trump in American politics. Trump, known for his unorthodox political style and ability to connect with his base, continues to poll competitively against Biden, either beating him or tying in most polls.
While specifics about the meeting remain undisclosed, the report underscores the importance of Obama’s support and commitment to Biden’s campaign. It is no secret that Obama remains highly popular among Democrats, and his promise to campaign as much as necessary to help Biden secure re-election demonstrates his dedication to the party and its goals. From the Post:
Obama was visiting the White House for what Biden aides described as a regular catch-up between the two men who served in the White House together for eight years. During their lunch, Obama made it clear his concerns were not about Biden’s political abilities, but rather a recognition of Trump’s iron grip on the Republican Party, according to the people.
The report has sparked discussions among political commentators and analysts, who are keen to decipher the potential impact of Obama’s warning on Biden’s campaign strategy. Some argue that Obama’s insights could help Biden anticipate Trump’s tactics and better position himself to counter them effectively. Others believe that the warning serves as a reminder of the uphill battle Biden will face if he decides to run for re-election.
As the 2024 presidential race looms on the horizon, Biden will have to carefully navigate the complex political landscape, taking into account not only Trump’s strengths but also the evolving dynamics of American society, even as his Department of Justice pursues dozens of criminal cases against Trump and his son, Hunter, faces his own criminal investigations.

Of course Obama wants Biden to win reelection. If Biden loses then Obama won’t be able to control the White House and the country anymore.

Or maybe they were talking about trying to keep Obama clear if the payoffs from the payoffs from Ukraine, Russia, China, Rumania. Don’t think Obama didn’t know about every call, meeting and payoff.

Obama is the most vile, hate filled, divisive, and evil man in our country. He is running his shadow govt. through the addle brained pathetic, goof ball fraud in the WH. I do believe that he is the one who is behind the destroying of our country.
