Looks like the Democrat elite (mostly Obama supporters) and their primary electorate are in different places. The MSM seems to always say the GOP is in disarray and sometimes that is true, but in this case it is the Democrats that are floundering.
As predicted, it seems that Old Corrupt Petulant Joe and Obama are not really very close. Of course that might have something to do Obama convincing Biden not to run in 2016, but is probably rooted in Biden’s absolute racism. Not really sure what level of narcissism is in Biden that thinks he would have won the Democrat Primary in 2016 as there was no way Hillary was going to step aside like the most of the candidates did in 2020.
Potential pressure from Obama to drop out of race could drive Biden to remain in election: Report
Current and former Biden aides told Axios that the president still holds a grudge against Obama and Democrats for advising he not run for president in 2016, just months after his son Beau Biden died from brain cancer. The regret over not running that year has reportedly emboldened Biden to remain in the race despite calls from traditional allies to drop out.
