When President Joe Biden took office in 2021, he brought back into the White House a contingent of staffers who had also worked under his onetime boss, former President Barack Obama.
But according to a newly-published Axios report, some Biden staffers have taken exception to the numerous Obama veterans who joined that current administration and were elevated to positions above aides who had been with the president for a longer timeframe.

"We do have too many Obama people who don't care about Joe Biden," an ex-White House official told the outlet. "It's about them."

Obama, who walked into the Oval Office after serving less than four years in the Senate, leaned on Biden's expertise in Washington as he worked to advance some of the administration's biggest legislative accomplishments — which included the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Affordable Care Act.
And Obama will return the favor in the coming months, as he'll stump for Biden across the country ahead of what is likely to be a tight reelection contest against former President Donald Trump.
