Barack Obama recently had an off-the-books White House lunch with President Joe Biden to share his concerns and advice about his former running mate’s campaign, according to a new report.
Obama grew ‘animated’ as he discussed the 2024 election and Donald Trump’s bid to return to the presidency, and suggested Biden should restructure his campaign to be more agile, the Washington Post reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The lunch meeting reportedly occurred in recent months, but has not been previously reported, and Obama does not appear in the White House visitor logs, which have exemptions for certain types of visits.
