Donors Are Hanging Up on Joe Biden's Fundraisers

NBC "News:" Biden's fundraising has dried up.

'It's already disastrous': Biden campaign fundraising takes a major hit
Sources close to the re-election efforts say fundraising is set to drop possibly by half this month. A campaign spokesperson pushed back, saying "grassroots" dollars were strong.

They're continuing to push the claim that "the elites" want Middle Class Joe out of the race, but "the people," "the grassroots" are with him.

President Joe Biden's campaign has already suffered a major slowdown in donations and officials are bracing for a seismic fundraising hit, with the fallout from a debate nearly two weeks ago taking a sizable toll on operations, according to four sources close to the re-election effort.
"It's already disastrous," one of the sources close to Biden's re-election said of fundraising.
"The money has absolutely shut off," another source close to the re-election said.
Two of the sources said this month is on a path to be down by possibly half -- "or much more," one of them said -- from large donors alone. Sources emphasized that the donations were down across the board.
"Donors are negative. They had a call with the president. The call seemed so contrived to people; I don't think they buy it," one of the people close to the campaign said, referring to a recent national fundraising call between Biden and donors. "They called on people who were the most loyal, die-hard ... There were no tough questions for the president."
Initially after the debate, the campaign reported an uptick in donors. But that quickly fell off, the sources said.
A Biden campaign spokesperson pushed back against the notion that fundraising was down. "That's not accurate," spokesperson Lauren Hitt said. "On grassroots fundraising, the first seven days of July were the best start to the month on the campaign -- and many of those were first-time donors. On the high-dollar side, we've had folks max out since the debate, as well."
Hitt didn't share how many donors have hit the maximum allowed under federal law since the debate.
One of the people close to the re-election efforts said this week that the campaign believed major donors who have threatened to jump ship after the debate would come around -- if only to avoid helping former President Donald Trump by sitting out the race.
Biden aides had said privately that "if major donors don't come along, we'll do it without them."

Biden is now suffering the most brutal humiliation. This is the worst example of the Trump Curse that I can remember.

The donors boycotting Biden may prove that "the elites" want Biden out.

On the other hand, a recent poll shows that 58% of Democrats want him out.

And most Democrats, despite their fervent belief that they are members of the aristocracy, are not elite.

The comically biased Regime newsletter the Washington Post demands that Biden prove he can beat Trump, and says that White House staff are "despondent" over the realization he can't.

Biden should provide evidence he can beat Trump, Democratic leaders say

The calls came as top union leaders, more lawmakers and even some campaign staff members expressed grave concerns about his candidacy.
Democratic leaders called on President Biden and his campaign Wednesday to provide convincing evidence of a viable path to victory amid a steady tide of bad battleground state polling and growing concerns that he cannot defeat former president Donald Trump in November.
The calls came as top union leaders expressed grave concerns about his candidacy, more members of Congress and other Democrats called on him to step aside, and even members of Biden's senior campaign staff began to exchange doubt about his prospects.
In a closed-door meeting Wednesday, some of the country's union leaders -- many of whom are strident backers of Biden -- said Americans' doubts about Biden's ability to do the job were damaging his candidacy and repeatedly asked Biden campaign officials for their plan to defeat Trump, according to two people familiar with their comments, who like others for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity to share private comments. Two of the most outspoken leaders were Sara Nelson, the president of the Association of Flight Attendants, and Shawn Fain, the president of the United Auto Workers, two of Biden's biggest labor allies.
In a statement later Wednesday, AFL-CIO leadership "unanimously voted to reaffirm its commitment" to Biden, saying, "No president has been more invested in helping workers than Joe Biden."
Senior campaign staff have started to take a more pessimistic view of Biden's chances, even as they continue to fan out in a full-court blitz to push the campaign forward and reassure allies of the president's potential to rebound.

"Overwhelmingly a majority of senior campaign staff are despondent and don't see a path," said a Democratic strategist familiar with the conversations, who like many others for this story requested anonymity to speak frankly about internal deliberations. A second person familiar with the discussions did not dispute the description.
...

Meanwhile, Democrats say the defections are likely to increase in coming days, with lawmakers and donors privately signaling that, by the end of the week, they may publicly call for Biden to drop out. They argue they do not want to embarrass Biden during the ongoing NATO summit in Washington while also giving him time to come to that conclusion on his own.

You don't want to embarrass Biden during the NATO summit?

Whoops, Biden already did that himself:

36 I'd love all this to be true. It would get me erect. But like all these thinly-sourced anonymous stories, this seems more like an oppo plant than the real truth.

All these anonymous sources are so sure that all the big donor money is drying up. Ok, great. Then how hard would it be to find one of these donors to say "I'm a big donor and I'm pulling the plug"? The fact that they haven't found one of these guys raises red flags for me.

Don't campaign contributions have to be disclosed? Well, what are the actual contributions then?

Final point: why exactly are donors pulling the plug if indeed they are? Are they sure Biden is toast and not willing to waste their money? Or is it that they are worried Biden will be replaced and they'd rather keep their powder dry until they know for sure?

Posted by: Elric Blade at July 11, 2024 12:14 PM (iFTx/)

37 They have already given up on this election. It has to be Joe or Kamala in order to use the money raised so far. They need to be able to pay the troops to preserve the system for 2028. There is no Democrat willing to sacrifice themselves for this lost election. The other benefit is getting rid of Kamala without pissing off their crazy DEI base.

There is disclosure, but it's delayed. I think it may be a monthly report, so most of the fallout has been in July, which just started. We won't see real numbers until August, I guess.

My only hope for our future is that the downballot races are such a complete shitshow for the Democrat Party, no matter how many ballots they stuff for Biden in places like Philly, that purple states become red states all of a sudden.

And the DNC has formally confirmed that it will renominate President Biden between 7/21 and 8/7.

The Billionaires’ Coup has failed.

One can only hope. This whole episode disgusts me. It's so wrong, and I'm exhausted.

joe is widely seen as a victim of an overreaching smear campaign. and that's not from an anonymous source that is from my circle of dems here in honolulou

Why are they doing it? With so much at stake?

I'm beginning to think they are scared stiff because the internal polling is showing it to be too close for comfort. But instead of getting out there and rallying people and promoting Biden's accomplishments they are turning tail and freaking out.

If Biden seemed a little out of it I can see why. The guy has been going full speed for years (running the first time, then dealing with absolute chaos once in office, going practically non-stop since at his age). It's impressive really.

Oh I agree and think it's probably more than 50% for the homos. The straight sexual harassers have probably wised up by now in the wake of MeToo hysteria to better groom and choose their targets. There are many many young ladies in DC willing to do The Kamala. No need to force the issue.

But the homos? I think they're still just grabbing dicks in restaurants, wiping out their assholes in bathrooms, and shoving their dicks in random dude's faces. More potential for liability with this approach.

Biden doesn't listen to Obama. Never has. Obama told Biden not to run for president in 2020. Biden did it anyway.

The only way Obama can "end this" is to order a hit on Biden.

Shelley Duvall, the intrepid, Texas-born movie star whose wide-eyed, winsome presence was a mainstay in the films of Robert Altman and who co-starred in Stanley Kubrick's “The Shining,” has died. She was 75.

Duvall died Thursday in her sleep at her home in Blanco, Texas, her longtime partner, Dan Gilroy, announced. The cause was complications of diabetes, said her friend, the publicist Gary Springer.

Obama never wants to look weak by not getting his way. That's why whenever I see Obama getting involved in a campaign, even abroad, he must already know the answer and the fix is in.

Right now, every Democrat wants Biden to leave, but ultimately it has to be Biden's decision and he's not willing to go. I'm sure Obama has privately urged him to leave, but Biden/Jill has said no. If Obama publicly called him to drop out, and Biden stays in, Obama looks bad and not the head of the Democrat Party.

My big fear is Biden's internal polling begins to look so bad that he realizes its a lost cause and drops out on his own accord.

Welp, now Chuck Todd is trashing Biden. It's amazing. He's had his lips stuck to Biden's ass for years now, but suddenly, Biden's a bad man.

MSNBC’s Chuck Todd says Biden’s refusal to step aside has made him “rethink a lot of the Biden biography. I still can’t believe he ran for president in the first place, given that his family was in crisis in 2018…You look at what has happened, I can’t believe he has put his family through this. And now, looking at his behavior now, in clinging to this, I think the entire narrative on Joe Biden is gonna change, in that everything’s always been about his ambition and his ambition comes first.”

Trump said the North Dakota legislation, which outlawed abortion unrelated to the health of the mother and limits it to 6 weeks for rape or incest, is a 'pretty strong ban'

Federal government (Deep State) running the American auto industry. First with the EPA regulations and fines - which started in the Obama era and are set to skyrocket in 2025 - which essentially mandate EVs and ban ICE vehicles.

And now with the Deep State giving away $1.1 billion of taxpayer dollars to the auto industry to convert their vehicle plants to make vehicles that are worse than ICE vehicles and that the American consumer does. not. want.

EPA regulations and fines are the stick, this DoE taxpayer dollar giveaway is the carrot.

In fact, him stepping down now would HELP Hunter, because Joe can stop worrying about appearances and pardon him NOW, of current and potential future crimes.

The only real fear Hunter should have is Joe dying before a pardon is completed, so sooner is better (although I bet Joe has a signed pardon on standby in case this scenario arises).

279 NYT: Some Biden Advisers Are Discussing How to Convince Him to Step Aside
Close allies of the president are developing a case for why he should end his re-election campaign, though it is not clear that the discussions have reached him.
nytimes.com/2024/07/11/us/politics/biden-aides-campaign.html

Some longtime aides and advisers to President Biden have become increasingly convinced that he will have to step aside from the campaign, and in recent days they have been trying to come up with ways to persuade him that he should, according to three people briefed on the matter.
A small group of Mr. Biden’s advisers in the administration and the campaign — at least two of whom have told allies that they do not believe he should keep trying to run for a second term — have said they would have to convince the president of several things

It this were a Republican I think every EO and piece of legislation the Democrats disliked would be over turned. The problem is that the GOP is likely onboard with *biden's agenda so there's little interest in revisiting anything he signed off on.

My theory is Gregory filled the car with exhaust fumes.

Maybe they both overheated in the car, but if that were the case, why didn't Gregory get out? Maybe he had a seizure or some debilitating issue, then they both succumbed to the heat?

Lincoln was a brilliant political strategist, a very able manager, an excellent negotiator, and was probably one of the very first and best prose writers in the "American" voice.
What he managed to create out of a constitutional crises was not ideal, and it created the creeping death of federalism that we see today. He was used as a martyr to cement the constitutional violations that he had done as a stopgap during the constitutional crises, and that is not, strictly, his fault.
Like Thomas Jefferson he allowed political convenience and concerns about allies to direct him, and this is why both of them are in my top ten, but not the very top.

414 A friend and I were talking yesterday about what's going on, and he said it reminded him a lot of what he's seen happen in various churches over the years, specifically those where the Pastor/Preacher has very strong internal control. I've seen it too. He's been popular, but then he decides to do or preach something completely contrary to what his congregation wants. They start to give him heat, but he controls all the boards, all the staff, and all internal discussion, so he's almost always able to drive all the critics out and stay in charge.

But what happens then? Donations dry up, attendance dries up, and the Church in question gradually dies along with the man in chaarge. In the end, the church becomes the next Primera Iglesia Bautista. So that's what Biden is doing to the Dem party right now.

Trump says VP shortlist Doug Burgum's signing of near-total abortion ban is 'an issue' -
Trump said the North Dakota legislation, which outlawed abortion unrelated to the health of the mother and limits it to 6 weeks for rape or incest, is a 'pretty strong ban'

If it's a state's right, if pro-life is a conservative plank, how is this a negative for Burgum? and, yes, I have read all the recent - Burgum fine people on both sides stuff, he's a liberal, Bill Gates!. -- I'm specifically asking about abortion.

Trump WISELY understands abortion is an issue that overwhelmingly favors Democrats and is probably the biggest single reason the "Red Wave" didnt happen in 2022. You can already see other Republicans following Trumps lead on this and even changing the platform.

Burgum is clearly out if Trump is saying this, and for good reason.

420 387, when was the war president his entire presidency. He did trample on the constitution at times and he did authoritative things at times that we would not allow now, But he did those because he believed correctly he was fighting an existential war. His opponent Jefferson Davis went way further in making dictatorial decisions and way further in managing his country with little or no representation at the time. The CSA went much further than the USA when it came to forcibly drafting everyone they could to the war effort, and also making sure all of the production of the country was focused solely on the war effort.

No, it is true that the vast majority of southern soldiers join voluntarily before it was decided they had to join. That should not be forgotten because that is a fact of history and a way higher percentage of men from the south served under arms compared to men from the north.

Everyone should know by now, the way this works is there are factions and interest groups and individuals who must negotiate with the current officeholders, to be able to continue to rake cash out of the American taxpayer.

It is a crisis for them, when the Biden operation was so easily managed, and now that Biden is no longer the titular head, they have to negotiate with Cummala's people. Or Gavin's or Frau Whitmer, or whomever.

It's extra work. They don't like work. They like stealing from the taxpayer, but that's not work, that's just doing what you love.

On the other hand, I don't really want Dopey's team running (almost typed "ruining") the country for the next four months.

Biden's team will be Kamala's team, or else the internal bickering in the middle of a general election while the DNC replaces the democratically selected candidate for president with someone so unpopular that she dropped out of her own race before Iowa last time will get a whole lot worse.

Also, Biden's not going anywhere. Why would he?

473 The biggest lie that students are told, but really not told is that it was a Civil War and not a war between two nation states. The CSA was a nation state just like the USA. They had their own courts. They had their own law officers, And after the war, they buried their dead in national cemeteries.

Sure, you can criticize the fact we don’t teach history at all anymore, but when it comes to the Civil War, the biggest error is, we don’t teach the reality that the CSA was a nation, even though it only lasted four years. Even after the war, the USA treated the CSA as a nation and reentered their dead in national cemeteries in the south.

481 . People say the originals Intent of the CSA was to defense states rights, but during the war, everything was put toward the one federal effort of winning the war. Lincoln did the same, but it was much harder for him. He had to play a lot more politics.
Posted by: Quint at July 11, 2024 01:09 PM (Fy2d7)

Actually you're wrong about that, and it was arguably the Confederacy's greatest weakness. They were never able to federalize anything to the extent that Lincoln's government did. A famous example is that towards the end, when Lee was besieged in Richmond, he put out a desperate call for blankets, shoes, and ammunition since his troops were short of all 3. Georgia still had warehouses full of all of that, but the Georgia Governor said no, he thought his state needed it more, so he declined, and Jefferson Davis' government had no authority to override State Governors on matters such as this. So Lee's army starved and lost, while Grant's army had the luxury of endless supplies and men.

The Biden and Harris control those campaign funds and can simply sit on them without spending them as some retired pols do (cough Kevin McCarthy) among others.

That is the real stinger. Legally, the funds are Biden Harris and not the DNC, donors, or any other entity. If the donors push Biden out of the race, he gets to keep the gold without spending one damn cent on the new crowned Dem king or queen.

Has happened in the past where a butt hurt pol losing at primaries took his money and went home with it.

498 492, this is America not Luxembourg. We don’t have to be recognized by anyone. I know you believe what you’re saying and I’m not angry by any means but every serious historian of the Civil War and I’m talking people who run Civil War departments in major universities disagrees with you.

The CSA was a nation. As I said before they had cops, they had law years they had a legal system. They had a navy. They had a political bureau. After the war, they buried their dead in national cemeteries, and the United States of America sent confederate dead to the south to bury them in confederate cemeteries. Confederate veterans were given military stipends by the US government for the rest of their lives because they were considered veterans.

You can say it was a rebellion and the CSA was not a nation, but it was a nation. There is the legal commentary of if it walks like a dock and looks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s a duck. And I have every serious Civil War historian on my side.

And none of this changes anything about the outcome of the war and that we are one nation, but that Is the reality of what people that actually lived in that time thought about that time Not about what we think about it now.
