Media: Biden called Obama the main puppeteer of the campaign against him

US President Joe Biden was very annoyed by the behavior of former President Barack Obama, The New York Times reported , citing its sources. Biden, who is running for a second term, believes that a full-scale pressure campaign is being waged against him in the media to force him to leave the election race.

He considers former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to be the “main instigator” of the campaign, and sees Barack Obama as the “puppet master behind the scenes,” NYT journalists quoted their sources as saying. The sources are convinced that “Biden has been involved in politics long enough to assume that leaks to the media are coordinated.”

The current president is upset with the former from the 2016 elections. Joe Biden was then vice president and expected to become a candidate, but Barack Obama talked him out of it. And Hillary Clinton became the candidate from the Democratic Party of the United States, who ultimately lost the election to Donald Trump. Now, sources assured, the offense has worsened: Biden is irritated by the lack of any action from Obama that would help avoid replacing the Democratic candidate.

Another person the current president is unhappy with is Bill Clinton. The 77-year-old predecessor, who led the United States from 1993 to 2001, has no moral right to give advice during the election campaign, NYT sources recounted Biden's behind-the-scenes monologues.

The reason, according to the current president, is that Clinton was unable to lead the Democrats to victory in the parliamentary elections in 1994. Just like Obama in 2010. Whereas he, Biden, was able to ensure that the party's candidates won in 2022.

At least 35 of the 263 Democratic congressmen are currently trying to convince Joe Biden to drop out of the race, according to The Washington Post. Three days ago, the president fell ill with the coronavirus and significantly reduced his public activity. That same day, the Democratic Party postponed the decision on the nomination of a candidate until the first week of August.
