During a June lunch at the White House, former President Barack Obama declared his support for President Joe Biden’s reelection bid, saying he would do anything to help the effort, while advising Biden to be wary of Donald Trump’s institutional support among the conservative propaganda ecosystem, the Washington Post reports.
As the pair met for one of their periodic meetings, the two Democrats discussed Trump’s stranglehold on the Republican Party and the GOP’s associated media system, an advantage Obama warned Biden not to underestimate. Sources close to Biden welcomed Obama’s early offering of support after the 2020 race, when Obama withheld support during the open Democratic primary until Biden secured the Party nomination.
