<p>The cracks in the support for Joe Biden among his own party were on clear display when even his former boss and still the darling of left – Barack Obama – showed the current president little support at a recent event.</p>



<p>According to Fox News, &#8220;tensions were evident&#8221; between the Obama and Biden camps at the former&#8217;s nonprofit&#8217;s democracy forum earlier this month, with some feeling President Biden received insufficient support at the event from his old boss as he seeks to unite the Democratic Party.</p>



<p>&#8220;The takeaway of the weekend was not, ‘Hey team, we’re got to get the band back together to help Biden out,’&#8221; one attendee told the ;Washington Post. &#8220;If this is a supposedly existential threat and democracy is so challenged, then why aren’t you being more overt about it.&#8221;</p>



<p>Former President Obama and thousands of former staffers gathered in Chicago earlier this month to mark the 15th anniversary of his election victory in 2008, and the Obama Foundation&#8217;s forum was pegged to the event to explore &#8220;issues critical to strengthening democracy.&#8221; Obama gave a speech and also an interview to the left-wing podcast &#8220;Pod Save America,&#8221; hosted by some of his former staffers, that weekend. ;</p>



<p>In the interview, Obama didn&#8217;t mention Biden once, even while discussing threats to democracy; as the Post put it, he &#8220;eschewed several opportunities to promote his former running mate’s campaign,&#8221; which is facing alarm over surveys showing him behind President Trump. Obama&#8217;s speech only ;mentioned Biden twice ;and not in the context of the 2024 election. ;</p>



<p>The report also noted Biden campaign officials gave a standing-room-only, off-site presentation to worried Democrats that same weekend in Chicago about his path to victory in 2024.</p>



<p>The Washington Post reported on the continued efforts of the Biden campaign to assuage alarmed party members and supporters over polling showing him trailing ; Trump and concerns about one issue, in particular, Biden cannot control: his age. Already the oldest president in American history, Biden turned 81 on November 20, and surveys have repeatedly shown public angst over his viability for the job.</p>

Obama Shows Little Support For Joe Biden!
