In public, former President BarackObama and President JoeBiden exhibit a deep bond, but behind the scenes, their rapport is fraught with tension, according to a new book.
Since Biden ascended to the presidency, Obama has felt envious of his former vice president and has"complicated feelings" about him being commander in chief, according to the new book, This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future, by Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin, obtained by Fox News."Nancy Pelosi, who spoke regularly with the former president, came away from her conversations with Obama during this period with a matter-of-fact diagnosis.
During the Obama years, many believed the presidential duo had a tight-knit relationship. A comic book writer portrayed the pair as a superhero team in the 2016 book, The Adventures of Barry & Joe: Obama and Biden's Bromantic Battle for the Soul of America. "Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up," Obama told a confidant during the 2020 cycle, according to the outlet.
