Democratic donors give Biden a two-week grace period for polls to fall after debate
NY Post ^ | 7/01/24 | Victor Nava, Lydia Moynihan

Biden campaign donors are giving the president a two-week grace period in the wake of his disastrous debate performance against former President Donald Trump, The Post has learned.

Any decline in the 81-year-old president’s polling numbers after those two weeks are up will become problematic and difficult for donors to stomach, a source privy to a call with top campaign contributors on Monday told The Post.

The Democratic National Finance Committee tamped down speculation that Biden could end his re-election bid during an hour-plus long Zoom call intended to put top donors at ease.

“The call was very reassuring,” the source said. “He’s all in, moving forward. He will do better at the next debate. The campaign is going about business as usual.”

“They got rid of any speculation he will drop out — the whole call is about the path forward.”

The committee told donors the internal surveys are very strong and claimed that it hasn’t detected any post-debate dip in Biden’s polling numbers.

Someone on the call apparently shared that the president will do more to address the nation in the hopes of getting donors, media and voters to focus on the issues rather than the debate – but they don’t want Biden going off script.

“They want to get him out there … but make sure it’s scripted,” the source said.

“They are going to have teleprompter at every possible event they can,” the person added.

The Biden campaign disputed this was the case.

“Their takeaway on teleprompters was incorrect,” a Biden campaign spokesperson told The Post. “No one on the Biden campaign said that.”

The loot will dry up faster than Gropin' Joe. Why not put Pedo Pete on that hour-plus long Zoom call? Yes, he can bring his teleprompter.

Obama used a teleprompter for over 8 years so his natural communist tendencies did not get revealed.

Joe can use a teleprompter also.

His donors dried up even before the debate was over. They’re lying to us again as usual.

No matter what the polls say, or what his big stupid donors do, Jill will be like that blonde in the super annoying car commercial: “HOLD!!” They’re going nowhere; he won’t resign.

When Obama wasn’t on a Teleprompter he was a tongue tied fool. Apparently, some people don’t remember the news articles about him conducting small meetings with a handful of Auto Execs and Financial sector execs soon after becoming President in 2008. Executives were shocked that he needed a Teleprompter for the meeting. Everything was scripted with Obama.

The thought that he is the puppet master of Biden is ridiculous. He is involved, but is definitely not the brains of the operation.

I made a (humorous) video of Soetoro constantly on a teleprompter and posted it on youtube some 13+ years ago and am shadowbanned to this day because of it.

So they will dump Traitor Joe if they think he cannot get elected. Otherwise they are just fine with a corrupt dementia patient as president of their country.
