A longtime Democratic donor said it’s “wishful thinking” that Joe Biden will quit the presidential race despite an “appalling” CNN appearance on Thursday — and insisted the commander-in-chief could still bounce back.
“Any notion that Biden is going to step aside now is wishful thinking,” Wall Street veteran Charles Myers, also a top bundler for the 2024 campaign, told The Post.
“I thought the performance was appalling but not catastrophic, and there is more than enough time to turn it around,” Myers added.
Myers, chairman of investment advisory firm Signum Global, voiced his optimism despite Biden’s stumbling and mumbling his way through Thursday’s televised debate against Donald Trump, igniting fresh concern over the 81-year-old’s cognitive faculties.
Myers also dismissed the idea that California Gov. Gavin Newsom or Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer could be parachuted in to face off against Donald Trump.
