‘F*cking Disaster’: Former Obama Aides Stick the Knife Into Biden
The Biden campaign is attracting a bunch of unwanted Obama-era nostalgia—this time in the form of President Barack Obama’s former aides loudly trashing President Joe Biden and his re-election prospects.
The Biden campaign has long leaned into Obama’s popularity to bolster support from the party base but the love does not appear to be mutual, particularly after Biden’s stumbling debate performance.
In an extraordinarily frank post on X on Wednesday, Jon Lovett, former Obama speechwriter and a podcast co-host, wrote that Biden should leave the race now with his dignity and his legacy intact. “Or he can leave a stubborn old man who allowed hubris and insecurity to destroy his legacy and perhaps our democracy with it.”
