Barack Obama jumps ship to rescue Joe Biden

- WASHINGTON AGENCIES

As the race to the White House intensifie­s with President Joe Biden facing Republican candidate Donald Trump in November, Barack Obama has jumped into the fray to rescue his former vice president from losing the reelection.

Former President Barack Obama sat for hours in the White House with Joe Biden and discussed the way to defeat Donald Trump amid intensifie­d battlegrou­nd, according to a CNN report.

In a video call of Obama, Biden, and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in the White House residence heralding the 14th anniversar­y of the Affordable Care Act, the former president said: “We have the chance to do even more, but that only happens if we send Joe and Kamala back to the White House in November.” “So, we’ve got to keep working,” the 62-year-old said. CNN reported that “the campaign also recorded other content featuring the two presidents that they plan to roll out in the coming weeks.”

Obama keeps in close contact with the officials of the Biden administra­tion on a regular basis.

He has been helping the 81-year-old Biden in his reelection bid by fundraisin­g and meetings.

In a fundraiser, two former presidents Obama and Bill Clinton will sit with Biden in a rare conversati­on, moderated by Stephen Colbert.

Their sitting shows that the US is in a crucial moment of history where they are in strong spirits to defeat Donald Trump.

“No one can speak to disillusio­ned Democrats better than President Obama,” CNN quoted a close person of Obama and Biden.

OBAMA, BIDEN’S CLOSE AIDE MAKES BIG REVELATION ABOUT TRUMP

As former US president Donald Trump has been surrounded with legal troubles facing indictment­s including the charge of Capitol Hill riots, campaigner for Joe Biden has made a shocking revelation about the Republican and his threats.

Jim Messina — who also served as campaign manager for Barack Obama in 2012 — told CNN: “Being the president of the United States means you’re part of a small club; there is no other group of people whose red flags about the direct threat of Donald Trump should be taken more seriously.” Joe Biden has been criticisin­g the business mogul for underminin­g the US democracy and institutio­ns with his false claims such as rigged elections of 2020. The 77-year-old Trump has been facing four criminal indictment­s and 91 counts of felonies including election interferen­ce in 2020 in Georgia, retention of classified documents after leaving the office, hush money to an adult film star, and instigatin­g supporters to storm Capitol Hill on January 6, 2021.
