Barack Obama Urges Joe Biden to Rethink Presidential Re-election Bid

Former US President Barack Obama has advised Joe Biden to reconsider his re-election bid, citing diminished chances of victory after a poor debate performance. Biden, who is 81, insists on staying in the race despite concerns. Democratic leaders also warn that his candidacy could harm the party's election prospects.
Former US President Barack Obama has reportedly advised Joe Biden to reconsider his bid for re-election.

According to the Washington Post, Obama believes that Biden's chances of winning have diminished and that the 81-year-old should 'seriously consider the viability of his candidacy.' This advice follows Biden's poor performance in a recent debate against Donald Trump.

Obama, who served as president with Biden as vice president from 2009 to 2017, remains highly influential in the Democratic Party.

Biden, currently isolating with COVID-19, has dismissed concerns about his age and fitness, insisting he will stay in the race.

However, Democratic leaders like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries have also reportedly warned Biden that his candidacy could jeopardize the party's prospects in the upcoming election.
