Biden's Ouster: Former President Harbors Resentment Towards Top Democrats

President Biden holds bitterness towards former President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer for their roles in his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, despite the party's preparations for a grand sendoff at the Democratic National Convention.

President Biden harbors deep-seated resentment towards the top Democrats who engineered his withdrawal from the 2024 presidential race, including former President Barack Obama, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, according to a report by Politico. Despite the Democratic Party's plans for a grand celebratory sendoff for Biden at the upcoming Democratic National Convention (DNC), sources familiar with Biden's thinking reveal a lingering bitterness.

Biden's frustration primarily stems from his belief that Obama should have directly advised him to drop out, rather than relying on his behind-the-scenes influence. He also harbors anger towards Pelosi, whom he views as the primary orchestrator of his withdrawal, alongside Schumer. The White House has yet to respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Biden's private expressions of frustration coincide with the party's preparations for a lavish sendoff at the DNC, where he will deliver the keynote address on the first night. The event is intended to commemorate the transition from Biden to Vice President Kamala Harris as the party's standard-bearer.

However, Pelosi's remarks in July, shortly after Biden announced his withdrawal, reflect a shift in tone, as she heaped praise upon the outgoing president, describing him as "patriotic" and "consequential" in his leadership. She also expressed gratitude for his belief in the "promise of America."

The DNC schedule reveals the Democratic Party's strategy of formalizing the transition from Biden to Harris. Biden's address on Monday night will be followed by remarks from Hillary Clinton and others. Obama will headline Tuesday night, while Bill Clinton and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz will take the stage on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively. Harris will deliver her speech on the final night, marking the completion of the transition.

In an interview with Jen Psaki on MSNBC's "Inside with Jen Psaki," Pelosi was asked whether she believed there was a possibility of repairing her relationship with Biden after the party's decision to force him out of the presidential race. Pelosi focused her response on the family's generations-long love for Biden and the importance of preserving his legacy.

Biden's ousting from the presidential race highlights the internal dynamics and power struggles within the Democratic Party. The party faces the challenge of navigating the transition to a new generation of leadership while maintaining unity amidst differing perspectives.

The upcoming DNC is expected to provide a platform for the party to celebrate Biden's accomplishments and present a united front as they prepare for the upcoming presidential election. However, the lingering tensions between Biden and some top Democrats may cast a shadow over the festivities.

The aftermath of Biden's withdrawal serves as a reminder of the complexities of political alliances and the challenges faced by leaders in navigating the ever-evolving landscape of American politics.
