Politics is a blood sport. The same hands that pat your back one day might push you off the cliff the next. Just ask Joe Biden.

Washington’s loyalty has always come with an expiration date. Power brokers smile for the cameras while plotting behind closed doors. It’s how the game works, especially in Democratic circles where the facade of unity often masks ruthless calculation.

President Donald Trump recently revealed a bombshell about his predecessor’s bitter feelings toward those who orchestrated his political demise.

During a White House meeting with Biden following the 2024 election, Trump uncovered who the former president truly blames for his forced exit from the presidential race – and it’s not who you might expect.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

“I asked him, I said, ‘So who do you blame?’ Because he was very angry, you know — he’s a very angry guy, actually. And he said, ‘I blame Barack’… And he said, ‘and I also blame Nancy Pelosi.’ I said, ‘What about the vice president?’ He said, “No, I don’t blame her.’ Which was interesting. He didn’t blame her,” Trump added.

The revelation came during Trump’s interview with The Spectator, where he described Biden as “very angry” during their White House meeting. Trump’s curiosity led him to ask directly who Biden blamed for his political downfall.

The answer? Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi – not Kamala Harris, who ultimately replaced him on the ticket.

This stunning admission pulls back the curtain on the Democratic Party’s internal power dynamics. Biden apparently harbors deep resentment toward his former boss and the former House Speaker for orchestrating his removal from the 2024 race.

The Debate That Changed Everything

Biden’s political fate was effectively sealed on June 27, 2024. His disastrous debate performance against Trump showcased a president who appeared feeble and forgetful. Even media outlets that had long defended Biden began questioning his fitness for office.

The debate triggered a cascade of events that would ultimately force Biden from the race. According to the New York Post, Obama initially encouraged Democrats to stick with Biden.

But by mid-July, Obama had changed his tune, reportedly meeting with Nancy Pelosi to discuss growing concerns about Biden’s mental and physical fitness.

The pressure mounted quickly. Democratic power brokers, led by Obama and Pelosi, began the behind-the-scenes work of pushing Biden aside. On July 21, Biden finally surrendered to the inevitable, dropping out of the race and endorsing Harris.

What’s particularly revealing is that Biden has publicly acknowledged being pushed out by party elites, specifically naming Pelosi in previous interviews.

But Trump’s disclosure adds a new dimension – Biden’s apparent belief that Obama, his former boss and supposed friend, was the primary architect of his political demise.

The Obama Factor

The Biden-Obama relationship has long been portrayed as a political bromance. “Obama-Biden” became a brand, a symbol of Democratic unity and succession. That facade has apparently crumbled.

Obama’s betrayal – at least in Biden’s eyes – cuts especially deep. After serving faithfully as Obama’s vice president for eight years, Biden likely expected loyalty in return. Instead, when the political winds shifted, Obama apparently helped push Biden overboard.

What makes this particularly ironic is that Obama’s endorsement was crucial to Biden securing the nomination in 2020.

The former president’s support helped consolidate the Democratic establishment behind Biden at a critical moment. Four years later, that same influence was weaponized against him.

Pelosi, long known as a ruthless political operator, apparently played the role of enforcer. Her private conversations with Democratic lawmakers helped create the pressure campaign that ultimately forced Biden’s hand.

The Harris Exemption

Perhaps the most surprising element of Trump’s revelation is that Biden doesn’t blame Kamala Harris – the person who directly benefited from his exit.

This suggests Biden views Harris as merely an opportunistic beneficiary rather than an active participant in his removal.

Harris took Biden’s place at the top of the ticket and ultimately lost to Trump in November. But in Biden’s mind, the responsibility for his humiliation lies with Obama and Pelosi, not his former vice president.

This selective assignment of blame reveals much about how Biden perceives the power dynamics within his party.

He recognizes that Harris lacked the political clout to orchestrate his removal. The real power brokers were Obama and Pelosi – party elites who decided Biden had become a liability.

The entire episode exposes the brutal reality of Democratic Party politics. When polls showed Biden might lose to Trump, party loyalty evaporated. The same figures who had praised Biden’s leadership suddenly questioned his competence.

The man who received more votes than any candidate in American history was unceremoniously pushed aside when he became inconvenient.

Key Takeaways:

• Biden blames Barack Obama for forcing him out of the 2024 presidential race.
• Trump revealed Biden was “very angry” during their White House meeting when discussing who orchestrated his political downfall.
• The Democratic Party’s public image of unity masks ruthless internal power struggles.
