Those closest to Barack Obama are expressing growing alarm about 2024, at the same time that President Joe Biden's campaign aims to quell disturbing voices within the Democratic Party.
The former US president has advised current president Joe Biden to restructure his campaign, fearing the return of Donald Trump, a possible Republican opponent for his second term in office.
Even former Attorney General Eric Holder, a close friend who is often considered Obama's political alter ego, told USA Today on Monday that there would be "immeasurable damage" to the country if former President Donald Trump were to win the November election. .
Asked if Obama shared that view, Holder replied: "Absolutely. I don't think it's a question of that."
"I think that's what motivates him. I think that's what will continue to motivate him," Holder said.
The former president's wife, Michelle, revealed he is "terrified" about the election result in a podcast interview this week.
Trump leads Biden in multiple polls, including a Jan. 3 USA Today/Suffolk University poll. This poll finds Biden trailing Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, 39%-37%; with 17% supporting an unidentified third-party candidate.
Other Democrats, who recently marked the 15th anniversary of Obama's historic victory, are also sharing their fears that Trump could return to power with a vengeance. They say the Biden campaign must be urgently supported.
David Axelrod, a friend and personal adviser to Obama, last year went so far as to suggest that Biden drop out of the race, though people close to the former president have emphasized that Axelrod speaks for no one but himself.
That puts the spotlight on Obama, who is speaking regularly and candidly with Biden about his thoughts on the race, according to sources close to the former president who spoke to USA Today.
He is increasingly tasked with coming to the rescue of his former vice president as polls show Biden struggling with blacks, Hispanics and voters younger than 35, who are crucial to any victory.
