Netflix's billionaire co-founder who's one of the Democrats' most generous donors has called for Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race.
Reed Hastings, 63 is asking Biden to step aside after his disastrous debate performance against Donald Trump last week.
'Biden needs to step aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous,' Hastings told the New York Times Wednesday.
Hastings, alongside wife Patty Qullin, packed the party's coffers during the Trump era to the tune of over $20 million.
They've also specifically backed Biden in the past, giving $1.5 million to the 2020 campaign and over $100,000 last summer.
Hastings was a part of the Biden campaign's outreach to the tech industry, which has also included LinkedIn co-founder Reed Hastings, Google chief Eric Schmidt and former Yahoo exec Marissa Mayer.
In the days following the debate Biden's donors were coalescing around three different strategies, only of which involved him immediately quitting the race formulated by those with little influence on the campaign.
Now, Hastings has become the biggest Biden and Democrat Party donor to date asking him to step aside.
Notably, he's also close with California Governor Gavin Newsom - hinted by some as a potential Biden replacement - giving his 2021 recall campaign $3 million.
Ari Emanuel, a massive Hollywood super-agent and Dem backer whose brother Rahm is the former White House Chief of Staff and now Biden's ambassador to Japan - was also heavily critical on Wednesday.
'I talked to a bunch of big donors, and they're moving all their money to Congress and the Senate,' Emanuel said at the Aspen Ideas Festival.

Hastings doesn't understand - without the black vote there is NO democrat party. And Harris might have been 'bought off' with an offer of a SC seat... but I don't think a white man taking Kamala's place is going to get the win...
Obviously he's thinking of Michelle.
“Elect Biden to keep us safe”
That’s a hoot. Russians in Cuba. China beating up the Phillipines and taking over the South China Sea. China taking on Taiwan. Russia in Ukraine. Houthis stopping shipping in the ME. Iran managing it’s anti-American clients all over the ME.
The world is a powder keg with a lit fuse. How is Brandon keeping us safe?
They know the black base believes Trump when he talks about the immigration taking over all their resources. The Latinos want jobs and the American dream they want to send money back to Sourh America to family members. The Liberals can’t just hand out cash without causing a problem between the races.
No, he isn’t. If you’ll notice he’s friends with a certain governor of the state he lives in.
I was joking!
What about Soros, the owner of the Biden junta. What does he say?
SAFE & PROSPEROUS???????
THE CHECK IS IN THE MAIL-——
The whole democrat party will suffer as this news is chatted up over the weekend.
Because he's a Democrat.
(Also, billionaires benefit from the corruption when the Democrats are in charge. But we're not supposed to know that.)
Too late
This is the first time since the 1980’s that I’ve heard serious people in government, the media and academia talking about the possibility of all out nuclear war. I sure don’t feel safe with this administration in charge.
“…keep us safe and prosperous…”
…. Bwahahahaha!
Safe and prosperous if you are a billionaire.
Jill Biden appears to be the main obstacle preventing Biden from stepping down. I’m just waiting for some scandal to drop over Jill Biden. There’s got to be something out there from her past that could be used. It doesn’t even have to be true. It’s called the wrap-up smear. Just ask Nancy Pelosi.
He IS keeping the cash flow to and the monopolistic practices of big tech safe.
