Obama Is ‘Jealous’ Of Biden, Has ‘Complicated Feelings’ About Him, New Book Alleges

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi reportedly said former President Barack Obama is “jealous” of President Joe Biden, according to a book that will be released in early May.

Two New York Times reporters, Alexander Burns and Jonathan Martin, will be releasing a book May 2 titled “This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America’s Future.” In the book, the authors say that Obama has “complicated feelings” about Biden being president, Fox News reported Monday.

“Nancy Pelosi, who spoke regularly with the former president, came away from her conversations with Obama during this period with a matter-of-fact diagnosis. She told a friend: ‘Obama is jealous of Biden,’” the book reportedly states.

The book also alleges Biden told his adviser that Obama is upset with the coverage of his administration, saying it has been painted as more transformative than Obama’s presidency.

“I am confident that Barack is not happy with the coverage of this administration as more transformative than his,” the book quotes Biden as saying, citing an adviser, according to Fox News. (RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Obtained NRCC Poll Shows Nancy Pelosi Is Most Unpopular Democratic Politician In US)
