Insiders reveal 'bitter' Biden's fury with long-time allies for turning on him - and who he believes is 'puppet master' behind campaign to push him out

Joe Biden suspects two longtime allies as being behind a campaign to oust him, insiders have revealed.

The president is currently recuperating from Covid-19 at his Delaware beach house in Rehoboth, but is said to be stewing over the betrayal.

Several elected Democrats have publicly called on him to step down following his disastrous performance at the presidential debate with Donald Trump last month.

The calls have only increased in recent days, with leaks to to the media further damaging the president's prospects.

Insiders told the New York Times that Biden suspects former House speaker Nancy Pelosi is stirring the pot, with former running mate Barack Obama acting as a 'puppet master' behind the scenes.

Both politicians-  along with New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries - have recently been at the center of news stories claiming they are predicting a devastating defeat for the Democrats in November.

Obama's own former aides have also come out to publicly disavow the president, without any comment from their former boss.

Biden and Obama forged a friendship by working closely together during the former president's two terms in office, but he has offered little in the way of public support.

The two appeared together at a glamorous Hollywood fundraiser in June, where Obama was said to have been 'shocked' at the deterioration in Biden.

Obama reportedly told allies that the president should seriously consider whether he should stay in the race, as speculation grows he could drop out within days.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Obama - who's only spoken to Biden once since the disastrous debate - believes Biden's path to victory has greatly diminished, but thinks the president needs to make the decision to quit himself.

Meanwhile, the public calls from sitting Democrats for Biden to withdraw only continue to mount - particularly from Pelosi.

The president is said to have noted that those who recently came out including Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, Rep. Adam B. Schiff and at least nine House Democrats, including Rep. Zoe Lofgren are all close to Pelosi. 

In addition, Senator Jon Tester of Montana this week became the second Senate Democrat to call on the president to axe his reelection bid.

On Friday, Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts reiterated his concerns in a Boston Globe article where he shared that his 'mentor and friend' Biden id not seem to recognize him at a D-Day commemoration in France in June.

'Of course, that can happen as anyone ages, but as I watched the disastrous debate a few weeks ago, I have to admit that what I saw in Normandy was part of a deeper problem,' Moulton said.

Despite the growing cacophony of dissident voices, Biden has insisted he plans to continue in the race with his team strenuously denying that an announcement could be forthcoming in the next few days.

'I look forward to getting back on the campaign trail next week to continue exposing the threat of Donald Trump's Project 2025 agenda while making the case for my own record and the vision that I have for America: one where we save our democracy, protect our rights and freedoms, and create opportunity for everyone,' Biden said on Friday.

Campaign chairwoman Jennifer O'Malley Dillon told MSNBC that the president is 'absolutely' still in the race, although she acknowledged the challenging conditions of late.

 'The American people know that the president is older,' she said. 'They see that. 

'They knew that before the debate. Yes, of course, we have a lot of work to do to make sure that we are reassuring the American people that, yes, he's old, but he can do the job and he can win.'
