(TruthAndLiberty.com) – As many Democrats have been considering the options for convincing President Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race there is one name that is considered more strongly than others, former President Barack Obama. 

Obama has for the most part remained out of the Democratic debate over Biden with his only remarks having come two weeks ago on the social media platform X. While Obama has continued to be quiet relating to this debate, this week he was seen on camera greeting several basketball stars including LeBron James and Dawn Stanley. 

Obama’s choice to remain outside of the Democratic debate regarding Biden as the nominee is particularly notable as many prominent Democrats, former advisers, and even famous actors such as George Clooney have come forward calling for Biden to step down. Privately, a source close to the matter noted that the former President has expressed a lot of concerns regarding the current state of the race and in particular the odds of Biden winning based on last week’s standing. 

The source has argued that Obama is particularly aware of the obstacle that Biden is confronting and that he has had a number of calls with senior Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). On Thursday, CNN reported however that Obama was uncertain of what the right way of moving forward was. 

Others have argued that there is no chance that Obama would allow being put in a position where he will need to have a conversation with Biden about his possible exit. They added that if that were to happen it would be as a group intervention which would include Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.), former House Speaker Pelosi, and other Biden peers.
