Former President Obama is holding regular calls with White House chief of staff Jeff Zients amid growing fears that former President Trump will win the 2024 election, the New York Times reported Wednesday.

Obama's calls with Zients and top aides at Biden's campaign reportedly center around election strategy and relaying advice from Obama's team. A senior aide on Obama's team told the Times that the former president has "always" been concerned about a Trump victory, and he is now working to bolster the Biden campaign any way he can.

A source familiar with Biden and Obama's interactions told Fox News Digital that the pair "speak regularly on a range of topics from 2024 to health care."

The source added that Biden also has frequent discussions with former President Clinton, and he has aides follow up with both of the former leaders' teams on a regular basis.

TIME Magazine also reported on Obama's increased concern about the 2024 election last week. The publication reported that Obama met personally with Biden on at least two recent occasions and expressed concern that he could lose the 2024 election.

Obama reportedly advised Biden to become more aggressive and make the upcoming presidential race a referendum on Trump.

A spokesperson for Obama's office highlighted the team's unity behind Biden in a statement to Fox News Digital last week, saying the Obama Alumni Association hosted an event for Biden's re-election campaign, during which attendees chanted, "Fired up, ready to go," in support of the president.
