Democratic donors are reportedly freezing $90 million in pledged donations to a Biden super PAC. The donors plan to withhold the cash unless Biden steps aside, sources told the NYT. Already, some megadonors and Hollywood bigwigs have publicly pressured Biden to end his campaign.

Doesn’t he (campaign) have to report quarterly?
What’s his war chest at the end of June?
Time will tell.

Good. If Biden stays in, no money. If Biden drops, and the money pours, we cite this to show that the Democrat candidate is bought and paid for, and that would be true.

The amount is probably higher. Other donors are withholding, but not going public.

Yep. If Biden’s delegates stick with Sleepy the DemoRats are stuck with him and the donors will hold their noses and cross their fingers like a gambler trying their luck on a slot machine.

The commies a!ready have $10s of millions. They don’t need it. Fox News says Biden still has a slight lead. So, they don’t need it.

This is turning into a real dog and pony show. And the actions being taken are telling a story of poor decisions and clogged trails to valhalla.

If Biden decides not to take the slot for the election, which I don’t see happening as they are committed being too late to replace, that doesn’t mean he is going to resign as president. He still will finish out the term as there is really nothing left of it. And putting Harris in to blunder her way into any chance of being elected with her would be blatantly obvious when she’s in charge and displays her most potent weapon, living on someone else’s responsibility and using her face even though it works best when it is looking verticle which is how she’s got her jobs for years. So she and Michelle have something in common only Harris worked with a little more variety...that we know of. So it would destroy the big names from going after the pot of gold. And trying to build a resume for other candidates this late and actually get it to the voters in time to get their attention is going to be a mountainous ordeal. And the more they throw names around the more obvious they are throwing them against the wall and hoping one will stick. They aren’t building a candidate and resume, they are scrambling...maybe

In my observations the liberals have screw things up so well that I’m not sure if anyone can fix it. So why not give the conservatives a chance to be janitors for four years while the liberals pile on the problems the libs actually create, and then trying to BS their way back into “more” power in 2028? They’ll still have power beween 2024 and 28 because the rinos won’t put a muzzle on them. So they get the best of both worlds without the responsibility. (Even though they swear they do for the people) And at the end of four years, with a little help from the media and a few lies, the deviancy of what they build during that time will become an expectancy (normalcy. (Especially when those forementioned rinos go cricket)

So, can Biden leave and protect the DNC vote? I don’t know how.

Given that the alternative is literally Hitler, Democrat moneybags will return to the reservation once Biden’s campaign reaches the point he can’t drop out. Their tantrums are amusing, but ultimately tantrums.

This is now an MSM driven effort to get Biden replaced after their 4 years of lying that he was undiminished. If Biden wants to keep the MSM and party elites at bay, he need only campaign 2 hours a week by doing a repetitive stump speech fully juiced up in front of friendly daytime audiences three times a week and make sure it gets played nationally so folks see him at his best. The repetition of the speech should stave off some of the mental confusion and verbal miscues. That should keep him in until the bloody end and enable the Republicans to take the Congress too. Go, Big Guy!

That’s exactly what the Biden campaign is going do.

I saw it last night in Detroit. Biden will be doing angry “over the top” teleprompter attacks about Trump, abortion, project 2025, etc.

His surrogates will compliment this with an airwave campaign that aligns with their talking points. They’ve supposedly locked in a bunch of advertising slots before the Biden debate debacle.

Biden is on the ropes, but it’s still early.

They don’t need that money. Look how they spend like drunken sailors on ads. They got lots and lots of dough laundered from all four corners of the earth. Yeah, probably from taxpayers.
