Barack Obama is being blamed for the Democrats' recent election loss, with claims he pressured Joe Biden to step aside. Former Biden staffers allege that Obama’s advisers encouraged infighting, undermining Biden's campaign. Sources indicate that Obama began pushing Biden to drop his re-election bid earlier this year. Biden's aides believe this decision harmed their chances, similar to when Obama supported Hillary Clinton in 2016. The situation has led to tensions within the party, particularly regarding Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign. Some former Obama staffers argue that Biden's low approval ratings and late campaign decisions negatively impacted Harris's chances.
