There is a conviction, according to former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, that former President Barack Obama exerts influence over the Biden administration.
Pete Hegseth served as the guest presenter during Gingrich’s interview on the Fox News program “Hannity,” during which he articulated his statements.
It is conceivable, according to Gingrich, that Biden’s attention will be diverted from the ongoing problems facing the country due to his prioritization of vacation activities.
“He has a pretty decent life, and it doesn’t occur to him that all these other things that are piling up in a way that will be an absolute disaster for the Democratic Party,” he said.
“My personal guess is the driving force behind the Biden administration is Barack Obama,” he added.
“Obama is the only president since Woodrow Wilson to stay in Washington, and in Wilson’s case, he stayed because he had a severe stroke and he could not be moved.”

“So the fact that Obama is here all the time, the fact that his staff permeates, literally permeates the Biden administration, and Obama is really, really smart,” he continued.
“Whatever Biden’s problems are at being kind of slow and cognitively decaying, Obama doesn’t have any of those problem,” the former House Speaker said.
“If you watched the administration, it is much more an Obama administration than, say, the Joe Biden of 10 or 15 years ago.”
“This is a very radical, very left-wing administration deeply dedicated to policies that are close to crazy,” he concluded.
“Their electric car policy is a disaster. As President Trump said, this will destroy at least 100,000 jobs and will achieve nothing in the long run,” he added.
“Their policies, they might propose that Americans are limited to two beers a week — the kind of petty nanny state interference that most Americans will find crazy.”
It is not a novel observation that Obama effectively leads the Biden administration.
According to a source, there are indications that Obama is subtly involved in efforts to replace Joe Biden, as it is becoming increasingly apparent that Biden’s age may hinder his chances of victory.
Former President Obama recently held a series of meetings with subordinate members of the House of Representatives, according to a report by Jonathan Martin of Politico. These meetings took place in Obama’s office in Washington and were accompanied by cheese and crackers.
The ambiguous nature of the discussion’s subject matter has prompted questions about Obama’s participation at this juncture, especially in light of the growing perception of Joe Biden as a potential liability.
