Former President Barack Obama has reportedly advised his allies that President Joe Biden should seriously reconsider the viability of his candidacy for the 2024 presidential election. According to a report by the Washington Post, Obama expressed concerns about Biden's diminished chances of winning. The report suggests that Obama has only spoken with Biden once since a recent debate and emphasized that the ultimate decision rests with Biden. However, Obama's concerns reflect growing unease within the Democratic Party about Biden's path to victory. Some top Democrats have indicated that Biden may drop out of the race as soon as this weekend. Obama has privately conveyed these concerns to his allies, according to WaPo.
