Did Hilary Clinton speak out against Biden's re-election bid? I don't recall her or any other Democratic leaders such as Obama telling Biden not to run. They should have told Biden not to run and if he rejected urge other Democrats to run against him.
Then you've forgotten your history or were too young to see it. Obama did tell him not to run. Publicly. Repeatedly. In both 2019 and 2024. Obama knew he was a puppeted idiot and not up to the job.

the only reason Biden won his first term was that Trump was so ridiculously awful that he made awful Biden's run possible. Everyone seems to have just forgotten that Biden was the republicans favorite dem and an open segregationist supporter. Biden gave the euology at a KKK "Exalted Cyclops" funeral.

And he was virulently anti gay until the millisecond Obama tapped him to be VP and told him to cut it out. And he's been the #1 recipient of AIPAC bribes over the entire course of his career. He's utterly bought and paid for, and the receipts are public.
Biden wasnt the "only one who could defeat trump", he was the most awful politician the dnc could get away with running considering they were running against trump. This is exactly how they play you and you cant seem to see it.

In the aftermath of his troubling debate performance last month, Biden has faced an onslaught of criticism from members of his own party and even his allies who have publicly questioned his ability to serve another term. As the list of Democrats calling for Biden to step aside grows, former President Barack Obama has remained silent.
