dwindling and that he should withdraw from the campaign\u2026 but, oddly, he is not saying this to Biden directly.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the Washington Post, Obama has been advising allies that his former vice president should step down, and he has received calls from Democratic power players concerned about Biden&#8217;s chances of defeating Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While many Democratic fundraisers and an increasing number of elected people have called for Biden&#8217;s resignation, particularly in light of Wednesday&#8217;s COVID diagnosis, it&#8217;s unusual for Obama to say so\u2026 considering their strained old bromance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>READ MORE: <a

Biden was in the right mental state to campaign after his son Beau died of brain cancer in 2015 &#8212; and Joe eventually did not seek the Democratic presidential nomination, citing his &#8220;grieving process&#8221; as the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><strong>READ MORE: <a
