Biden campaign officials have been making their disappointment in the former Obama staffers calling on the president to drop out of the 2024 race well known. And now the “pod bros” themselves are firing back.
On Friday’s new episode of “Pod Save America,” co-hosts Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer, who previously served as former President Barack Obama’s chief speechwriter and communications director, respectively, took several minutes to respond to the criticism they have received for speaking openly and honestly to their listeners about the risks of keeping President Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
About halfway through the hour-long episode, the 41-year-old Favreau brought up both Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough’s suggestion that Biden is “deeply resentful of his treatment under the Obama staff” and a passage from The New York Times that characterized Biden’s advisers as dismissing the “Pod Save America bros” as “operatives who worked for a cerebral, cool-guy president and never understood the world according to the scrappy kid from Scranton.”
