Obama, who has been in touch with Biden only once since the debate, has made it clear that the decision about the future of Biden's candidacy rests solely with the President. Obama's primary concern, it seems, is to safeguard Biden and his legacy.
According to The Washington Post, Obama has been actively involved in discussions about the future of Biden's campaign. He has been fielding calls from worried Democrats, including former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and has shared his views on the President's challenges. However, a spokesperson for Obama declined to comment on these reports.

Obama perceives his role as an advisor and confidant to his former Vice President. He has reportedly told allies that he feels a sense of protectiveness towards Biden. Obama believes that Biden has been an effective President and wants to safeguard his achievements, which could be at risk if Republicans gain control of the White House and both houses of Congress next year.

Despite these concerns, Biden and his campaign advisors have remained resolute, insisting that the President will not withdraw from the race. This comes even as Biden had to cut short a campaign trip in Las Vegas due to testing positive for the Coronavirus. Quentin Fulks, the principal deputy campaign manager, confirmed that Biden's campaign was proceeding as planned.
Obama's worries coincide with growing unease within the Democratic Party about Biden's prospects and the potential impact on other candidates. Democratic donors, activists, and elected officials are increasingly seeking guidance from a select group of experienced elected leaders to navigate the crisis triggered by Biden's mishandled debate performance on June 27.
