PHILADELPHIA — Leading donors for Joseph R. Biden Jr. convened this weekend for their first donor retreat since he announced his candidacy and struck a determined posture as Mr. Biden’s campaign found itself under assault from President Trump, losing its clear front-runner status and lapped in the money chase by multiple Democratic rivals, most notably Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Over cocktails on Friday evening and a Saturday spent in a drab hotel conference room, Mr. Biden’s top financiers and fund-raisers received strategy briefings and PowerPoint presentations, and plotted the path forward for the former vice president, who suddenly found himself in fourth place in the money chase.
Only hours before the gathering began, the news broke that Ms. Warren, now seen as Mr. Biden’s chief rival, had out-raised him in the last three months by nearly $10 million — $24.6 million to $15.2 million. He lagged behind Senator Bernie Sanders ($25.3 million) and Mayor Pete Buttigieg ($19.1 million), too.
While some were downbeat about the financial figures, Mr. Biden’s slip in the polls and the onslaught from Mr. Trump, the Biden loyalists described a sense of almost burden and responsibility. If Mr. Biden is to compete financially with the online windfalls of Mr. Sanders and Ms. Warren, several donors said, they believe it would be on the shoulders of the bundlers assembled here.

Joe needs to start extorting countries around the world for funds.
Then he can say Trump made him do it!
Time to demand a refund?
Why not just take your money and flush it down your toilet, it's faster, admittedly you would lose out on the cocktail party opportunities.
Joe is corrupt AND a loser.
So are the rest of the RAT candidates.
If Trump had a swanky "donor retreat" with his top money givers, they'd immediately label it an obviously impeachable offense and Chuck Todd would cry on Rachel Maddow's shoulders while Pelosi squirted her way through a press group hug.
And what's with the "Joseph R. Biden Jr." formality instead of "Joe Biden"? That's just weird.
Like his tweets refer to Dr. Jill.
“Time to demand a refund?”
No, time to order toast with some side jam because Quid Pro Joe is toast.
Joe is starting to look like Jeb but with more stupid.
Who the hell would give any of these Democrat moron leftist idiots money? It puzzles me to no end
“And what’s with the “Joseph R. Biden Jr.” formality instead of “Joe Biden”? That’s just weird.”
It’s just the Slimes faking precision and gravitas.
Guess what guys! Your investment is worthless! You threw your money away on me! Ha ha ha!
Slo Joe has run for president multiple times and never has gotten out of the starting gate. I remember seeing a poll among dim voters a couple of elections ago where he polled at 3% among dimrats.
His donors are idiots, they don’t know history and deserve to lose their money on this loser.
Joe Biden, the Robert Dole of the Democrat Party (but it’s my turn!)
People who want in on the graft that a Biden presidency would provide - payback.
Maybe he could start a charity. Call it the Biden Global Initiative. He could put Hunter in charge and pay him $600K a year to run this “CHARITY”. That way foreigners from around the globe could contribute to the charity millions of dollars in exchange for speeches made by Joe in the future.
Of course, this charity would have to give at least 10% of the money collected to somebody that needs it. In exchange Hunter and Joe could fly around the world on a leased Gulfstream and stay a five star hotels doing charity work.
