Some of Biden’s wealthiest donors are privately turning on the president

Some of Joe Biden’s biggest donors areprivately turning their backs on him — but most of them are keeping their powder dry, worrying that any move against the president may backfire, according to The New York Times.

Late on Tuesday, donors were monitoring the most recent polls following Biden’s dismal debate performance last week against Trump, where he mumbled and appeared to lose his train of thought at times.

The Times reported on Wednesday that Biden has told an ally that he may end his re-election campaign if he cannot convince voters over the next few days that he’s up to the job.

Biden is set to take part in an interview with George Stephanopoulos of ABC News on Friday followed by campaign events in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, both key swing states.

“He knows if he has two more events like that, we’re in a different place” by the end of the weekend, the ally said in reference to the debate, speaking anonymously to The Times.

Both the White House and the Biden campaign rejected the notion that the president is considering ending his re-election effort instatements to The Independent.

The money class of the Democratic Party has been closely following the actions of elected Democrats for signs that Biden’s support may be weakening.

In Aspen, Colorado, the morning after the debate, almost 50 Democratic donors gathered for a meeting planned by the super PAC, American Bridge. When asked how many thought Biden would step aside, almost everyone put up their hands, according to The Times.

Members of the Democracy Alliance network even suggested issuing a public statement calling on Biden to give up the nomination, prompting a debate within the organization. But ultimately, the group’s board chose to remain supportive
