Obama has taken active interest in Biden's campaign: report
By John Bowden - 08/16/19 09:23 AM EDT
Former President Obama has summoned top aides on former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential campaign to Washington for a personal briefing as Obama appears to be taking an active interest in Biden's campaign for the Democratic nomination.
The New York Times reported Friday that the two met last month for lunch and that Obama summoned top members of Biden's campaign to his Washington, D.C., home earlier this year for a briefing on Biden's communications and digital media strategies ahead of the former vice president's campaign launch.
Obama's interest and quiet advice to Biden's campaign comes despite the former president's vow that he will not make an endorsement in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primary, even as Biden has aligned himself with the former president's legacy and often cited Obama's vetting of him in 2008 as a strength on the campaign trail.
