Picture this: two former presidents, once inseparable allies, now can’t even share a greeting over dinner in the heart of Washington, D.C.
The relationship between Barack Obama and Joe Biden, once a cornerstone of Democratic unity, has reportedly crumbled into a bitter divide, marked by public snubs and behind-the-scenes resentment, Breitbart reported.
ABC reporter Jonathan Karl has pulled back the curtain on this fallout, describing the current state of their bond as anything but friendly.
Last month, the tension became glaringly obvious when both Obama and Biden were spotted at Café Milano, a popular D.C. restaurant, yet didn’t exchange a single word.
Karl noted, “They didn’t interact at all,” highlighting how even their security teams had to shuffle around each other while the two men stayed worlds apart.
For those of us skeptical of the left’s unity narrative, this isn’t just a personal tiff—it’s a public display of a fractured party that’s lost its way.
The bad blood seems to trace back to Biden’s exit from the presidential race, a decision his inner circle largely attributes to Obama’s influence after a disastrous debate against Donald Trump.
Karl put it bluntly, saying, “Biden and the people around him very much blame Barack Obama for the effort to push Biden out of the campaign.”
That kind of betrayal isn’t easily forgiven, especially when it comes from someone who once handpicked Biden as his vice president, only to seemingly turn on him when the stakes got high.
After Democrats shifted their support to Vice President Kamala Harris, Biden reportedly made calls to rally backing for her—but conspicuously left Obama off the list.
Even when Obama reached out, Biden refused to take the call, and the two didn’t speak for weeks, a silence that speaks louder than any press release.
This isn’t just politics; it’s personal, and it’s a stark reminder that even the tightest alliances on the left can unravel under the weight of ambition and progressive priorities.
In late July, Obama publicly endorsed Harris, praising her as having the vision and strength needed for the moment, a move that likely stung Biden even more.
Meanwhile, conservatives can’t help but see this as the Democratic machine discarding loyalists for the next shiny object, a pattern that undermines trust in their so-called values.
While some may argue this is just business in politics, the Café Milano snub and unanswered calls paint a picture of a rift too deep for spin to fix, leaving many to wonder if this divide will further weaken an already stumbling party.
