Sure about that?

Yeah, pretty sure. He's the President. That comes with enormous power within your party. Almost all of the top positions in government are filled with people that he appointed, and that he can replace instantly. He has tremendous ability to direct funds and resources to states and state-level politicians.

After they're both out of office, Obama may end up being more influential in the party in the long term. But merely holding the office gives Biden a degree of personal power and influence within the Democratic party that cannot be matched by any other faction.
