Wealthy Democratic donors are reportedly considering ways they can compel President Biden to step aside in the 2024 presidential race, including boycotting future donations to his party.
Wealthy Democratic donors are reportedly considering ways they can compel President Biden to step aside in the 2024 presidential race — including boycotting future donations to his party.
The dam has already begun to crack, with Disney heiress Abigail Disney telling CNBC Thursday that she plans to cease all donations as long as Biden, 81, remains on the ticket.
“This is realism, not disrespect. Biden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high,” the longtime Democratic booster said in a statement to the outlet.
“If Biden does not step down, the Democrats will lose. Of that I am absolutely certain. The consequences for the loss will be genuinely dire.”
Biden’s abysmal June 27 debate performance against opponent former President Donald Trump, 78, sent shockwaves of panic throughout the Democratic party about his ability to serve another term.
A post-debate New York Times/Sienna College poll showed the incumbent lagging his GOP challenger by six points among likely voters.
