Several Wall Street Democratic megadonors are reportedly withholding donations for down-ballot Senate candidates due to their dissatisfaction with presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren's rise in the polls.
CNBC reports the Massachusetts senator's rise is hurting the party's fundraising efforts. "Some finance executives have recently told Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer that they are, for the moment, holding back from donating to Democrats running for Senate in 2020," the report says, "due to their concerns with Warren becoming a front-runner in the race for the party's presidential nomination."
Longtime Democratic donor Bernard Schwartz said he knows of multiple Wall Street executives who have told Schumer (D., N.Y.) they will withhold donations to Senate races if Warren wins the nomination. "I think at the end of the day it's going to be very hard for Elizabeth Warren to be the leader of the party," he said. "I think the party is much more centrist than the people who have the microphone."
An anonymous financier told CNBC that the Democrats pressuring Schumer "don't feel safe going to Trump, they feel disillusioned by Biden and they see this as a tactic to slow her down. They see it as a way to put pressure on the party as a whole to move away from Warren."

Then who's left?
Someone who won’t rock the boat. Its gotta be someone like Hillary who will make all the right noises but will never threaten them.
Of course if that happens, the Democrat base will stay home.
They want change and if they don’t get it, why come out and vote?
Bunch of racists.
Palefaces withholding much wampum from squaw. Heap big racists, they are.
Angry ex-wife schoolmarm librarian scold.
No thanks.
Good. Let the dems implode.
They are so out of touch with reality and so intent on establishing their little oligarchy, that they have lost common sense and ability to see or think clearly.
When you’ve lost NYC you may have gone too far.
If princess squawskank bends the knee to soros, she’ll get all the $$$ she needs.
As bad as she is, both as a senator and a candidate, she can't be given all the blame for their much-deserved fundraising woes.
