Many of the Democratic Party’s top fundraisers are privately sounding the alarm after President Joe Biden’s disappointing debate performance Thursday against Republican former President Donald Trump.
“Disaster,” said a Biden donor who plans to attend a fundraiser with the president on Saturday in the Hamptons.
“This is terrible. Worse than I thought was possible. Everyone I’m speaking with thinks Biden should drop out,” said the person, who was granted anonymity in order to recount private conversations.
CNBC began hearing from worried Democratic campaign donors and fundraisers less than 20 minutes into the 90-minute debate hosted by CNN.
“Game over,” said a longtime Democratic campaign advisor, who has been raising money for congressional leaders for over a decade and helped raise money for Biden’s 2020 White House bid.
“Biden’s got to leave. He’s got to get out now and if he doesn’t get out we’re going to get f------ crushed,” said the advisor. They told CNBC they planned to approach Democratic National Committee Chairman Jaime Harrison on Friday to discuss what happened at the debate.
An advisor of one of the Democratic Party’s top megadonors called the debate an “absolute train wreck” for Biden. “Worse than [Ronald] Reagan in ’84 or [George W.] Bush in ‘04 or [Barack] Obama in ’12,” they added.
The problems for Biden at the debate started early. He stumbled out of the gate, appearing to lose his train of thought at times and pausing for a long moment before CNN moderators cut him off when he was discussing U.S. health care.

MONEY TALKS!
I don’t think Jill is willing to step down.
I think Joe will die in the near future.
I thought they already gave Jo Jo all their money the other night in Hollywood. Joe isn’t giving it back. He needs it to keep their beloved son out of prison.
I agree. Jill will not let him step down.
Jill likes being president.
“The problems for Biden at the debate started early.”
Early as a couple of months ago, when the establishment press started to fact-check him, the way they do to Republicans and conservatives.
You mean like a pillow falling on his face?
Why is this a disaster? Demoncraps don't need evil rich capitalists' money. They're the party of the little guy. C'mon man!
Yes, Jill has the final word here.
“Jill, if Joe resigns now he will have the nation’s sympathy. Please spare him the embarrassment of removal by the 25th Amendment.”
That might work.
I cannot imagine being a big time money donor to Democrats coming from the investment community or some other big Donor business and think, Yes, I am going to sink $1,000,000 into this man’s campaign after last night. If anything, they are probably trying to figure how they place bets on Trump in order to “extract” whatever they think they need from Federal Govt.
BTTT
Top Democratic fundraisers would leave a smoke cloud like the road runner if they have any brains.
Biden’s campaign is dead in the water, because of money. The big donors of the Dem Party just closed their checkbooks. They will not fund a certain loser. They will open them again if the Dems “can” get rid of Biden and a suitable candidate takes over. They will need to drag the first lady out of the White House as she digs her nails into the carpet as she is evicted. Rumor has it that her favorite phrase is “MY Precious My Precious My Precious” Lord of the Rings
Schadenfreude is sweet sweet sweet!
Of course, they never name one.
