The former US president’s public backing of the incumbent was “disingenuous,” according to the journalist
Former US President Barack Obama is telling Democrats that incumbent Joe Biden has no chance of being reelected after his recent debate against GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, American conservative journalist Tucker Carlson has claimed. According to Carlson, Obama’s recent public endorsement of Biden was not sincere.
Biden and Trump faced off in an open debate on Thursday night, with the president’s performance widely seen as “incoherent” and “fumbling,” underscoring concerns about his age. Following the showdown, many Democrats and their donors reportedly scrambled to find a replacement for Biden as the party’s presumptive presidential nominee.
Publicly, however, many Democratic heavyweights, including Obama, reaffirmed their support for Biden. While admitting that “bad debate nights happen,” the former president insisted that “this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself.”
Writing on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Carlson said, citing an “unusually good source,” that Obama’s post had been “disingenuous.”
“In private, Obama is telling people Biden can’t win, and he is therefore in favor of an open convention,” the journalist claimed. He added Obama is not saying whom he supports, but recently met with Biden in person to deliver the message.
Carlson also claimed that relations between Obama and Biden – who served as vice president between 2009 and 2017 – have never been warm, and were at times even “hostile.” According to the journalist, those ties “recently… deteriorated further,” mostly due to First Lady Jill Biden, who allegedly “kept her husband cloistered away from anyone who might convince him to drop out” of the race for the White House after the disastrous debate.
Carlson added that Biden’s wife remains “the driving force behind her husband’s reelection campaign,” echoing a recent NBC report naming her as the only person who could convince the president to “change course.”
However, CNN reported on Monday that Biden’s family, including Jill, had urged him not to end his campaign, blaming his poor performance on his team.
While the Biden-Obama relationship has often been described as a “bromance” to the point of becoming meme material, numerous media reports indicated that things have been much more complicated. An Axios report in March suggested that Biden “often measures himself” against his predecessor, with a rivalry dynamic present in their relations. According to Politico, Obama also shared serious concerns about Biden’s ability to win the 2020 election.

“Big Balls and Fat Stacks; What America Needs”
The Kenyan Faggot is not running anything in DC.
He’s the dumbest stump in the forest. He’s the Magic Negro Front.
The Deep State is run by who it’s always run by.
And they aren’t Americans.

They are coming for our guns every day.
Because they can’t do what they want as long as we are armed.
“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to fuck things up”- Barack Obama
Does anyone remember this quote? Obama obviously resented being saddled with Biden. That was apparent for the entire time that Obama was in office. This RT staff writer is the one being disingenuous.
Biden couldn’t win in the last selection without Doh-Min-Yun’s assistance, who says they can’t select old Jell-0 brain again with the same Doh-Min-Yun slight of hand.
I just heard on MN Pubic Radio that our governor – Tim Walz- is having a meeting with DNC honchos in the next week. Honestly, it hadn’t even occurred to me that Walz might be the replacement. I’d assumed that Whitmer would be their pick. Despite Sundance’s commentary that Kamala Harris cannot be denied
the Dems are in a unique position to pick someone who could never win in the primaries. Andy Beshear of Kentucky or Tim Walz of MN, for example. Walz is our version of Jon Tester – a guy who supports every liberal position (including “gender affirming care” for minors), but because he was raisedon a farm and he’s a fat white guy who wears a flannel shirt and a jean jacket, people assume he’s a “man of the people”. Walz or Beshear would be strong candidates, and Walz is the more “progressive” of the two.
Beshear and Walz are commies, they’re perfect for the DEMs. Have they kissed the wall?
They will as soon as they’re required to do so.

We’re almost there…
Obama could not account for his pre political life, academic history, social security number, birthplace, big Mike’s gender, his father’s real identity or even his own identity. The real story is much worse than the Kenyan story.
