Michael Mortiz, a major Democratic donor, has joined the calls for President Biden to drop out of the presidential race against former President Trump.
With his public comment, Mortiz — a billionaire Silicon Valley venture capitalist — becomes one of the Democratic party’s largest contributors to pressure Biden to suspend his campaign.
“Sadly, President Biden has a choice — vanity or virtue,” Mortiz said in an email Friday to The New York Times. “He can either condemn the country to dark and cruel times or heed the voice of Father Time. The clock has run out.”
The Times noted that Mortiz has given $7.8 million to pro-Biden and anti-Trump initiatives in the 2024 election cycle so far. Most of it, about $6.8 million, went to American Bridge PAC, which runs anti-Trump advertisements in battleground states.
In another email to the Times, Mortiz said all of his donation to the Democratic Party, not just Biden, was now on hold.
“I would vote for Biden, but I would not give another penny to any fund-raising appeals from Democrats,” he said.
Mortiz joins a growing list of Democratic donors who have urged the president to suspend his campaign. Netflix’s co-founder and executive chairman Reed Hastings has also doubled down on his call for Biden to withdraw. Bill Harris, the former CEO of Paypal, recently said he thinks it’s inevitable that the incumbent step aside.
Whitney Tilson, a major investor for Democrats, said it’s “highly unlikely” that Biden can beat Trump in November. Tilson told ABC News that “even the wealthiest people have limitations on money” and will hold his donation in order to support a new candidate.

They’re people, not superheroes. They can and do make mistakes. And they’ve painted themselves into a corner of their own accord. This isn’t 4D chess, it’s hubris. But the bottom line is this: If the money dries up Biden is done. And it’s slowly drying up.

Deep State doesn’t have a deep bench, but it does have a YUGE collection of dunce chairs.
But Deep State has a couple of problems.
The first is that the cabal is paranoid, and despots are paranoid for good reason.
The second is, being paranoid, they’re likely desirous of finding someone as incompetent as the POTATUS.
I’m still thinking Uncle Festerman has a shot.
They could try going with Harris, making her PUTATUS, but my bet is the people hiding behind their stooges are some of the most misogynistic and racist people on the planet.
Heels Up will be their least favored option.
I think you are right - it is orchestrated.
Perhaps, before I die, I will understand all of the machinations of the Left, but I doubt it.
The Cheat is on again. It won’t be 2020. It will be version 2.0, 2020 with new twists. The Cheat will swing states but without recognizable “F"-curves. One of the keys to this is to switch candidates only when the perfected arts of fake-polling and a constant barrage from the proven Democrat-toadies of the Press can mask a stolen election.
Sadly, Biden isn’t the one he has to convince. He must go directly to Jill and Hunter, the decision makers.
“The Cheat is on again.”
Definitely. Actually, it never stopped. There’s probably been an unnamed committee, with Satan at the head of the conference table, conjuring up the schemes since 2016.
Biden will be in history books as the dementia president with invisible extremist Marxist handlers defining policy. And Afghanistan catastrophe, plus Ukraine catastrophe.
Folks, its not just Joe, its the Biden Syndicate. Where does vanity or virtue figure in an interlinked multi-person syndicate?
As a hard core life long criminal that’s an easy one and eve. An addled brained Pinocchio can handle it.
Pinocchio and doesn’t care about party or country just himself and his crew.
So this is how the Democrats save democracy. Have an unelected group of people appoint our leaders.
And just a month ago Biden was one of the greatest presidents in US history and he was going to save democracy from one of the most evil men in history.
He wants virtue from a life long political and personal scumbag whom he was happy to use until only very recently. Good luck jackass.
Virtue? Now that’s hilarious.
Because who else? {snicker}
Anyone who is a leftist is parasitic loser on society. They are self-loathing and sociopathic criminals. They are self-loathing. Unfortunately, they are too weak to remove themselves so they project on to others...destroying everything they touch. It is reverse-Midas.
Federal pardons only cover federal crimes.
The Biden family has committed a bunch of state crimes that cannot be pardoned.
the young turks are fun to watch
