Former US president Barack Obama has expressed his concerns about President Joe Biden’s candidacy while speaking privately with Democrats. Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi warned Biden that Democrats could lose the ability to seize control in the House if he did not step away from the race.
In recent days the president has become become more committed to staying in the race, according to another source. But influential Democrats from the highest levels of the party apparatus, including congressional leadership headed by Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries, are sending signals of concern.
One said it is now or never ahead of a planned virtual roll call to nominate the party’s choice in early August, ahead of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. “All the talk about who’s leading and where and how, is kind of, you know, everything so far between Trump and me has been basically even,” he said in an excerpt of the interview. Some national polls do show a close race, though others suggest Mr Trump with a lead.
