Joe Biden apparently received a warning from Barack Obama about how formidable a challenge Donald Trump will provide in their second race in 2024, should Trump secure the GOP nominee as predicted next year.
According to recent polling, a second presidential election between Trump and Biden will be close.
Obama reportedly “promised to do everything he could to help the president get re-elected” at a secret White House lunch with Biden in June, according to the Washington Post.
The Post reported that Biden accepted the offer of assistance from the guy who served as his vice president from 2009 to 2017. They cited two participants in the conversation.
In addition to 78 criminal charges, retention of classified material, and Trump’s attempt to reverse Biden’s election victory in 2020, Trump is facing unprecedented legal risk.
As allegations of election tampering are also anticipated against him in Georgia, his hold on the GOP primary has only grown stronger with every judicial setback. According to Republican polls, Trump has advantage over Ron DeSantis, the hard-right governor of Florida, by more than 30 points.
Trump lost the 2020 election to Biden by more than 7 million votes and decisively in the electoral college. Trump refused to concede, which sparked unrest that culminated in the devastating attack on the US Capitol.

The Obama-Biden Dynamic
A lot has been written about and speculated about the connection between Biden and Obama, not the least of which is whether or not Obama thought Biden should make a third bid for the Democratic candidacy in 2020.
Biden failed miserably in the 1988 and 2008 presidential primaries while serving as a US senator from Delaware; Obama, who is 19 years Biden’s junior, won the latter. During their eight years in power, the two men then established a productive working partnership.
Obama kept his memoirs, which may have been difficult for his vice president, until the election was held in 2020, when Biden hoped to become the oldest president ever by running on a platform of the need to stop Trump from destroying “the soul of the nation.” Yet he also put off giving his approval for a while.
Obama assisted in highlighting Biden’s victory after he overcome a shaky beginning to win the nomination, largely because to the support of African American voters.
The Covid pandemic, severe economic headwinds, a US political system under attack from Trump’s extreme Republican party, and the need to mobilize international support for Ukraine in its conflict with Russia are just a few of Biden’s main obstacles.
He has achieved a lot, but his popularity levels are stubbornly low.
