Biden Feels Hurt and Betrayed as Support from Democratic Leaders Falters. Democrats Waiting for Guidance from Major Party Leaders

  • last month
President Biden feels personally hurt and betrayed by top Democratic leaders who have wavered in their support for his campaign as he faces challenges, according to those familiar with the matter. Former President Barack Obama publicly supported Joe Biden after a poor debate performance by highlighting his virtues, while privately harboring concerns. Congressional leaders like Pelosi, Schumer, and Jeffries have listened to concerns from members but not given clear guidance to back Biden. Many Democrats now believe it's a question of when, not if Biden will withdraw, though he insists he's staying in the race.
