After Hillary Clinton’s loss in the 2016 election, Joe Biden had a conversation with President Barack Obama and essentially hit him with an ‘I told you so.’
Obama famously backed Clinton as his defacto third-term candidate over Biden that year, eschewing the loyalty that his then-Vice President had shown throughout their two terms in the White House.
According to a new book by authors Hunter Walker and Luppe B. Luppen, titled The Truce: Progressives, Centrists, and the Future of the Democratic Party, Obama and Biden were watching election returns when it became obvious that Donald Trump was going to defeat Clinton.
The mood, according to excerpts obtained by the Daily Mail, turned “mournful.”
Biden reportedly picked up the phone and called Obama and, according to multiple sources, told him: “Boss I told you. People just don’t like her.”
