On the 9th (local time), CNN obtained and released a call file between former President Obama and aides who worked with him at the White House. According to the call, former President Obama criticized, "Even the best government could do poorly in this situation," and said, "So what do I get in return?" and "There is no concern for others," resulting in an "absolute chaotic disaster."

Despite openly criticizing President Trump after leaving office, former President Obama did not directly confront him. This statement became known after the conversation with close aides was leaked to the media rather than being a public remark.

In this call, former President Obama also reaffirmed his support for former Vice President Joe Biden, who worked with him in the previous administration. He said, "This election is very important because it is not about a specific individual or party but about fighting the long-standing tendency of selfishness, division, and viewing others as enemies," and added, "I intend to campaign as hard as possible and spend a lot of time for Joe Biden." Former President Obama also urged his aides to "feel the urgency" and to support the campaign.

Former President Obama announced his support for former Vice President Biden as the next president last month. Since then, it has been reported that former President Obama has been deeply involved in Biden's election campaign.
