It&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/satire\/contra-axios-pete-buttigieg-will-never-be-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">never going to happen<\/a>, but height isn&#8217;t the only reason. Debenedetti also notes that Obama was rightfully &#8220;turned off by Buttigieg&#8217;s apparent inability to win over nonwhite voters&#8221; in the Democratic primary.<\/p><p>Biden was similarly impressed by Buttigieg&#8217;s &#8220;gay Obama&#8221; schtick but &#8220;also thought everyone was kidding themselves&#8221; about his viability as a candidate. &#8220;The guy had gotten destroyed in the piddling race for DNC chair in 2017, so how was he going to be the party&#8217;s presidential nominee?&#8221; Debenedetti writes of Biden&#8217;s thinking at the time. The former VP was particularly annoyed when a bunch of former Obama staffers started lining up behind Buttigieg and Beto O&#8217;Rourke, another candidate with no shot at winning. &#8220;You believe this shit?&#8221; Biden would often vent to aides and associates.<\/p><p>Of course, Obama didn&#8217;t even want Biden to run in 2020 (or 2016).&nbsp;&#8220;You don&#8217;t have to do this, Joe, you really don&#8217;t,&#8221; he reportedly told his former vice president before Biden declared his candidacy. As the Democratic primary wore on, Obama&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/politics\/obama-biden-warning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tried to warn<\/a>&nbsp;his fellow Democrats not to &#8220;underestimate Joe&#8217;s ability to fuck things up.&#8221;<\/p><p>There have already been some rumors Buttigieg may seriously be considering making another run for president in the near future, however without the support of past presidents like Obama it&#8217;s doubtful he would be successful enough to gain the party&#8217;s nomination.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new book reveals why former President Barack Obama says former South Bend mayor-turned Biden cabinet member, Pete Buttigieg will not make it to the White House.
