Tensions among former Vice President Joe Biden’s advisers are rising ahead of the Thursday launch of his 2020 presidential bid, according to a new report, with a last-minute replacement of his announcement video and major worries about his fundraising needs.
The New York Times reports Biden will enter the crowded Democratic field with zero campaign dollars and will need to raise at least $100,000 per day until Christmas if he wants to match the amount of cash that rival Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) had in the bank on April 1st. Members of Team Biden are said to be concerned that the 76-year-old may not be able to raise the type of money Sanders and former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) did in the first days of their campaigns. Each candidate took in roughly $6 million within the first 24 hours.
“I don’t think the challenge is underestimated by the Biden team,” Rufus Gifford, President Barack Obama’s 2012 campaign finance director, told the Times. “This is going to be tough. This is going to be a heavy lift,” Gifford added. “The Obama people are not a given, and they’re going to have to work for them just like everyone has to work for them.”
The Times reports that fundraising isn’t the only matter advisors are worried about. At the last minute, his camp has reportedly scrapped and is scrambling to replace the video announcing his candidacy.

THAT was so disturbing to me.
If that were my child/grand-daughter, I would be outraged.
The Arabs decided not to bankroll Mr 1%?????
If Joe is having so much difficulty trying to decide whether to run or not, imagine the lack of executive decision-making skills he'll have as president.
Joe is not a number one kind of guy.
He's destined to be a #2.
He’s never held a private sector job in his life........................
subtle.
He’s not too Wealthy from what I’ve seen. He just has someone paying his bills, not wealth to speak of.
Perhaps, Joe Biden and Al Franken can find work as quality control inspectors at the manufacturers of “Real Dolls”

I don’t feel a damned bit sorry for him after he tried his best to crucify Clarence Thomas and then goes on to do the things he’s caught on tape doing. He can go to hell, and he will, eventually.
Don’t forget Jivin’ Joe’s first run for VP when he released his taxes and it was discovered that on an income of $250,000, he’d given $350 in charity in the form of used clothes, ......all while complaining about others’ lack of generosity.
Biden’s had 3 deep invasive brain surgeries. It’s not unusual that one of the outcomes of that is poor impulse control in social situations. Apparently his family has this type of cancer as a problem. He should have retired from politics after the 3rd one.
My tin foil hat thought. Hillary camp suggested Biden run and make her his runny mate. Biden is now figuring it out.
Your tin foil hat is too tight....................
It was also a generic brand.
Too geriatric? ;^}
Yeah
Always buy name brand tin foil. Don’t buy that cheap Chinese stuff................
