Former President Barack Obama has now twice warned President Joe Biden that his re-election prospects are in trouble – as former President Donald Trump is in a stronger position to win the White House than he was in the previous two cycles.

That’s what Time Magazine writes on Thursday that Obama paid Biden a visit in June and delivered the warning — and did it again in December when he didn’t see the Biden campaign improving.

He had been invited to the White House at Biden’s invitation after the two men served together as president and vice president for eight years.

“He expressed concern that the re-election campaign was delayed in building its field operations and bottlenecked by Biden’s insistence on relying on an isolated group of advisers gathered in the West Wing,” Time wrote, citing a Democratic insider.

While both the White House and campaign officials act upbeat in public, Time reported that behind closed doors, those behind closed doors are scared.

Quentin Fulks, Biden’s chief deputy campaign manager, said that for the Democrat to win, 2020 voters must come back into the fold.

“Our biggest strength is that 80 million people have sent him to the White House before,” Fulks told Time. ‘Our challenge is to win over people who have already voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris once.’

But that may be difficult under the current circumstances.

Despite rosy economic numbers and the COVID-19 pandemic essentially in the rearview mirror, voters interviewed by DailyMail.com in early primary states often expressed a sense that the economy was better under Trump.

Many are willing to give him another chance despite his 88 criminal charges, role in the January 6th Capitol attack and general threats to become a ‘dictator’ on day #1.

Members of Biden’s youth coalition have soured on the 81-year-old president — in part because of his siding with Israel after the Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack — and feel Palestinian civilians living in Gaza should not pay the price.

At nearly every campaign stop the president has made in recent weeks, he has been mobbed by pro-Palestinian protesters, including those who surrounded Biden’s hotel in Dallas and rang cowbells in the early hours of the morning.

Gen Z voters ‘don’t understand why they should be forced to cast their vote for a candidate who has done so many things that are against their values,’ said Aidan Kohn-Murphy, who organized the 2020 #TikTokforBiden campaign , to class.

Trump has also worked hard to broaden his appeal to Latino and black voters — and polls show he has done so with some success.

Biden has recently stepped up his rhetoric to try to win back some Latino support.

On Monday, he told Univision Radio with Raúl Molinar that Trump “despise” Latinos, pointing to the former president’s record of child separations, comments about migrants and a plan for a sweeping deportation if he regains the White House.

The president also traveled to the heavily Latino swing states of Nevada and Arizona and held fundraisers in Texas, which tends to lean heavily red.

He also made a trip to Michigan to rally for black voters and union voters, but was subsequently criticized for going to the home of a white local official instead of a black church.

Michigan is also dangerous for Biden because of his stance on the war in Gaza, as the state has a high population of Muslim and Arab voters.

“It boils down to voters of color, and those voters are angry,” a former Biden campaign and White House official told Time. “I think it is very likely that he will lose.”
