Top Biden aides worry over ‘scary’ situation of President not having a serious plan to beat Trump: Report

Advisors to President Biden are revealing concerns about the campaign's direction and leadership with just months to go before the election in November.

Democratic strategists and advisors to President Biden are revealing concerns about the campaign's direction and leadership with just months to go before the election in November. 

A Democratic strategist who communicates with the Biden campaign said that he doesn't know what plan Biden's inner circle has to beat former President Trump — if any. 

"It is unclear to many of us watching from the outside whether the president and his core team realize how dire the situation is right now, and whether they even have a plan to fix it," the strategist told Axios. "That is scary."

Some advisors feel pressure not to speak up in meetings, especially when in the presence of Biden's most trusted and longest serving aides. 

"Even for those close to the center, there is a hesitance to raise skepticism or doubt about the current path, for fear of being viewed as disloyal," an anonymous official told the outlet. 

"There is not a discussion that a change of course is needed," the same anonymous official told Axios.

Biden's former chief of staff Ron Klain, who resigned from his position last year, told Axios that he believed strongly in Mike Donilon, one of Biden's most key advisors.  

"In Mike I trust," Klain said. 

Some Biden advisors disputed the claims of officials and Democratic strategists who said that they were doubtful of the Biden campaign's plan for November.

"These people have clearly not heard from Mike or anyone on the team the president's detailed case for re-election," the advisors told Axios. 

As the 2024 election race continues to move ahead, Biden is polling low with multiple demographic groups. 

An aggregate of network polls found dwindling support in President Biden among Black voters, down to 70% in 2024 from 86% in 2020. Trump, meanwhile, has cut into Biden’s coalition according to polling, tripling his support from Black voters over the last four years, from 7% in 2020 to 21% in 2024.

When reached for comment, the Biden campaign referred Fox News Digital to the statement it provided to Axios.
