According to a new book about the election, Obama was \u201csomewhat incredulous\u201d that Biden was running again and later told Biden\u2019s senior staff bluntly, \u201cYour campaign is a mess.\u201d This candid critique came as Obama met with staff members who had previously worked for him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"512\" data-end=\"964\">One of Obama\u2019s main concerns was the campaign\u2019s divided leadership, with operations split between Washington, D.C., and Wilmington, Delaware. Biden\u2019s team headquartered the campaign in Wilmington to emphasize his working-class roots, but this structure proved ineffective. Jen O\u2019Malley Dillon was sent to Wilmington to manage the campaign issues while Mike Donilon stayed in D.C. as chief strategist, but these efforts failed to stabilize the campaign.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"966\" data-end=\"1333\">After a poor debate showing against Donald Trump, Biden dropped out and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris, who campaigned for just over three months before losing to Trump. Some of Biden\u2019s staff were angered by Obama\u2019s harsh assessment, calling him disrespectful and arrogant. Yet Obama\u2019s public remarks sometimes seemed to mock the situation, deepening tensions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1335\" data-end=\"1585\">Since leaving office, Obama has stayed active politically, endorsing candidates and criticizing the current administration. He recently took a subtle jab at Trump in a Fourth of July message emphasizing democratic unity and collective responsibility.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1775\">Obama also condemned Trump\u2019s decision to dismantle USAID, calling it a \u201ccolossal mistake\u201d and praising the agency\u2019s crucial global work, alongside former President George W. Bush and Bono.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Barack Obama reportedly expressed serious doubts about President Joe Biden\u2019s 2024 reelection campaign during a private White House luncheon in 2023.
