In a surprising turn of events, sources close to Joe Biden's team have revealed suspicions that former President Barack Obama is secretly orchestrating efforts to push Biden out of the 2024 election. Despite Obama's public support for his former vice president, several alumni from his administration have been vocal about the risks of an election loss, and even Biden's ally, Joe Scarborough, expressed his concerns on his show 'Morning Joe.'

Scarborough's comments shed light on the growing tensions within the Democratic Party. He mentioned that the Biden campaign and many Democratic officials believe that Obama is quietly working behind the scenes to orchestrate calls for Biden to step aside. However, Scarborough also added that if Biden holds such beliefs, it won't prompt him to withdraw from the race any faster.

The resentment between Biden and Obama reportedly stems from the 2016 presidential election when Biden felt passed over by Obama in favor of Hillary Clinton. Despite this, the two are said to speak frequently. Biden chose Scarborough's show as a platform to voice his fightback against the "elites" who are aligning against him.

On Wednesday, George Clooney, a close friend of Obama, publicly criticized Biden in a New York Times column titled "I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee." It was later revealed that Clooney had consulted with Obama before publishing the piece. Clooney's comments highlighted his disappointment with Biden's recent performances, likening them to a shadow of his former self during the debate.

Clooney is just the latest addition to the growing list of Obama figures calling for Biden to step aside, including David Axelrod, who played a significant role in Obama's presidential campaigns. Axelrod's warning to Biden about a potential election defeat further intensified the concerns within the Biden camp.

However, Scarborough was quick to dismiss Axelrod's remarks, emphasizing that Biden will not be swayed by the calls from Obama alumni, including the hosts of the podcast 'Pod Save America,' who have also demanded Biden's withdrawal from the race.

According to Scarborough, Biden's deep-seated feelings of resentment towards the Obamas and Clintons have compounded the underlying tensions. He explained that Biden has consistently felt like an outsider and has endured a sense of being overlooked by those in power.

Throughout their time in office, there were reports of Biden experiencing slights from Obama staffers, with suggestions that his political style was outdated and eccentric compared to the Ivy League aura of the Obama administration.

Democratic strategist Brad Bannon pointed out that the concerns expressed by individuals like Axelrod likely reflect Obama's views as well, as they are unlikely to operate without his approval.

While this is not the first time that Obama's team has expressed concern about Biden's campaign, the worries became more apparent after his lackluster performance during the first debate with Donald Trump, leading to doubts about Biden's ability to build the necessary infrastructure for a successful campaign in 2024.

As tensions continue to rise within the Democratic Party, Biden's ability to navigate and confront these challenges will play a crucial role in maintaining his position as the party's nominee for the 2024 election.
