Biden's campaign on its last legs as Obama reportedly calls for him to drop out | DW News

US President Joe Biden is facing fresh doubts from Democratic Party leaders over the viability of his candidacy. Former President Barack Obama has privately expressed concerns that Biden's path to victory has greatly diminished, several people familiar with the private conversations told the Associated Press in a report published on Thursday. The Washington Post reported that Obama thinks Biden should "seriously consider the viability of his candidacy." Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is reportedly among those who have privately told Biden he cannot win and that he is putting Democrats' chances at winning control of the House of Representatives at risk. Concerns over Biden's re-election chances grow as Trump is set to accept the GOP nomination at Day 4 of the Republican National Convention, which bosts a host of celebrity names, including wrestler Hulk Hogan. Trump's much anticipated speech will come a day after J.D. Vance took center stage and gave his first appearance as Trump's VP nominee.
