We Got New Juicy Details About the Obama-Biden Feud Last Year
Matt Margolis
For all the unity that the Democratic Party projects, there’s actually a lot of drama behind the scenes, and it’s nice to see the details finally come out.
According to a new tell-all on last year’s campaign, Joe Biden spent the last weeks of his re-election meltdown dodging phone calls—not from reporters or donors, but from Barack Obama himself. For two full weeks before he finally bailed out last July, Biden reportedly refused to take his old boss’s calls. And get this: even after he quit, he gave Obama the cold shoulder for another month.
It’s a far cry from the friendly dynamic Democrats once sold to the public. Remember the memes, the matching sunglasses, the “brotherhood” and even the friendship bracelet? Yeah, that’s over.
Sources say Biden’s bitterness boiled over after word spread that Obama’s team quietly nudged George Clooney to write that July 10, 2024, New York Times hit piece urging him to bow out after his train-wreck debate against Donald Trump.
The Oscar-winning actor had declared in the scathing piece that Biden “cannot win” less than a month after co-hosting a fundraiser that brought in some $30 million for the Democratic ticket, but was overshadowed by Biden freezing up during the event and having to be led offstage by Obama.
“Obama had been trying to get in touch with Biden for about two weeks, but his calls had not been returned,” ABC News chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl writes in an excerpt from his upcoming book “Retribution: Donald Trump and the Campaign That Changed America” that was published by the Dispatch on Friday and detailed the 48 hours before Biden announced he was leaving the race.
“Obama reached out again after Biden suspended his campaign, but the two men would not end up speaking until shortly before the Democratic National Convention four weeks later.”
“Obama caused tension when he would visit the White House because he operated as if he still ran it,” a Biden official revealed. “He made Biden feel secondary in the room even when staffers were present.”
