Donors Said to Freeze Roughly $90 Million as Long as Biden Stays in Race

[DigitalDrifter]

This could easily be the death blow to Biden's campaign if this is true. Losing the money game is the #1 reason a candidate drops out of a race.
I truly am surprised that after two weeks since the debate, Biden is still running.

The cash freeze deals a blow to Biden’s campaign. Here’s the latest.​

It’s one of the most concrete examples yet of the fallout from President Biden’s poor debate performance. After mixed reviews of his Thursday news conference, Mr. Biden sought to turn the focus on his opponent. Some major Democratic donors have told the largest pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, that roughly $90 million in pledged donations is now on hold if President Biden remains atop the ticket, according to two people who have been briefed on the conversations.

Joe's war chest just took a hit.
$220m - $90m = $130m while Trump has $331m looks bleak for old Joe.

Must be true.

Hang in there Joe!

Time for Joe to issue an executive order limiting the amount presidential candidates can spend on elections to fifty bucks

How can they freeze money they already donated?

Who is in worst shape against Trump? Biden or Harris? That’s the one I’m rooting for.

.... and Trump has been hitting records even as the democratic, political, legal battle continues.

Promised.

Must have been pledged.

Impossible. I was assured by my intellectual and moral superiors that Joe hit it out of the park in the press conference last night.

As much as I despise the 'used-car salesman' that is Joe Biden, right at this moment, it would likely be better for Trump if Biden remained his opponent.

The ones over at MSNBC?

Without question Harris is the far worse option for the Dems. She is going to win Cali, D.C, maybe Colorado, maybe New York (yep, there are many maybe blue states for any Dem this election).

All of the fly over states and swing states? She has to easily lose all of them, maybe she wins Michigan I don't know.

This is why it is all peculiar to me. Is this going to be the M.O every election when four months before an election they switch a candidate out after millions of votes have been cast because they are behind in the polls? It is a complete desperation play but it undermines their own voters.

There is a reason the debate was held in June and everyone in any free country sees this. I don't understand why America wants to destroy itself within.

Can you imagine all of the campaign ads Trump can buy and what those ads will look like? The possibilities are endless when it comes to Biden.

The longer Biden stays in it, the longer it reflects negatively against America's foreign policy, in the opinions of the rest of the world.

In which country will Biden start America's next war?

Georgia?
Taiwan?
Iran?

And will it be to save democracy again?

Yes. Practically any video you see of Joe right now, will show him walking and talking like a very old man. The Trump campaign will have endless videos to choose from.

There is no doubt, going forward America could easily be put in a position that could turn into war.

Yes. Practically any video you see of Joe right now, will show him walking and talking like a very old man. The Trump campaign will have endless videos to choose from.

Not to mention just playing clips from numerous people on Biden's own side saying he is unfit to be president and should step down.

Political Extortion, pure and simple.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Yes. Practically any video you see of Joe right now, will show him walking and talking like a very old man. The Trump campaign will have endless videos to choose from.

And dozens of Democrats saying Joe is too old and needs to drop out.
