US Election 2024: US President Biden was already sensing growing discontent among fellow Democrats over his presidential bid after recent incidents during debates and media addresses. Now, his recent corona diagnosis has further increased concerns. Adding to these challenges, former President Barack Obama has expressed doubts, making Biden's path to the presidency even less rosy.

Barack Obama has told aides in recent days that President Biden's path to victory has narrowed significantly and that he thinks the president needs to seriously consider the viability of his candidacy, the Washington Post reports, citing multiple people briefed on his thinking.

In recent days, Obama has received calls from congressional leaders, Democratic governors and major donors during which they have shared their uneasiness about Biden's campaign's prospects after his disastrous June 27 debate performance against Donald Trump.

Despite hearing these concerns, Obama has said the decision to stay in the race is Biden's alone, according to multiple anonymous sources cited by the Associated Press.
