It’s one of the most concrete examples yet of the fallout from President Biden’s poor debate performance.
The cash freeze deals a blow to Biden’s campaign. Here’s the latest.
Some major Democratic donors have told the largest pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, that roughly $90 million in pledged donations is now on hold if President Biden remains atop the ticket, according to two people who have been briefed on the conversations.

Technically, if not donated specifically to biden, they can be donated to the new candidate and not face FEC constraints.
The Bidens can cash in on more than a few favors to make up for that loss.
China and Russia can make up the difference overnight.

Unless swing state leaders come out for replacement, nothing is going to change. Has any democrat Governor or Senator in a swing state or Representative of a key swing district declared Biden must go? If not, it’s all just a DC parlor game.
The Lt. Gov., at 6’8,” towers over the Hairsniffer-In-Chief, who is not a shiry man. https://www.postnewsgroup.com/garlin-gilchrist-ii-stands-tall-as-michigans-first-black-lt-governor/
