While I tend to agree with Obama's push for Biden to step aside, I'm deeply concerned about Obama's influence on the Democratic Party. He played a significant role in persuading Biden not to enter the 2016 Democratic primary, and I believe Biden could have beaten Trump. Additionally, he seemed to orchestrate Bernie Sanders' loss in the 2020 primary by convincing several centrist candidates to drop out while keeping Elizabeth Warren in the race to siphon progressive votes from Bernie. Though this can't be proven, it feels plausible.

Now, Obama is reportedly pressuring Biden to leave the race again. While I agree with this decision, it bothers me that Obama seems to be at the center of several poor decisions and progressive setbacks. This is the same person who left the Democratic Party in a weakened state after his presidency. I wish both he and the Clintons would step back. Perhaps I'm naive, but many still view him as the party's leader. Nonetheless, his central role in these matters is frustrating.

I never considered that former US Presidents might have political influence... Maybe you are onto something.

It's almost as if you didn't read the post...

Ah, yes, I misread. You didn't complain about Presidents' influence on elections.
