Biden Still ‘Harbors Some Resentment’ For Obama, Thinks Pelosi Is ‘Ruthless’: Report

President Joe Biden is preparing to speak at the upcoming Democratic National Convention — but according to a Wednesday report from POLITICO, he is still angry at the power players in his party, some of whom he blames for forcing him out of the 2024 presidential race.

Biden, 81, announced his exit after a disastrous debate performance in late June spurred intense pressure — much of it from within the Democratic Party — for him to step aside and open the door for a younger candidate. Within days, Vice President Kamala Harris had been elevated to fill his position on the 2024 ticket — despite having never won a single primary vote on her own.

But even as Democrats and media talking heads scrambled to praise Biden as “heroic” for standing down for the good of both the Democratic Party and the country, it became apparent that some may have played a part in convincing him that he had no choice — and Biden was less than thrilled with them.

“Biden views Pelosi as ‘ruthless’ and willing to set aside long-term relationships in order to keep her party in power — and, most importantly, to prevent Republican nominee Trump from returning to the White House,” a senior White House official told POLITICO’s Playbook. “That’s who she has always been.”

The president also reportedly still “harbors some resentment” at the man with whom he shared the ticket in 2008 and 2012, former President Barack Obama. Biden’s frustration with his former boss was focused on the fact that he “did not call him directly to voice his concerns about the campaign in the aftermath of the disastrous Atlanta debate in late June,” POLITICO reported. “The former president did not try to stir up a movement to dislodge Biden from the top of the ticket, but he also didn’t quell one, much to the dismay of some of those closest to Biden.”

The report also indicated that Biden has started to come around with regard to Pelosi, although he has not spoken to her since his abrupt exit from the race — and he recently dropped her name in connection with the reason that he felt compelled to quit, speculating that media would be asking him about Pelosi’s comments and create “a real distraction.”
