Democratic Donors Urge Biden to Step Down

A significant faction of Democratic donors and strategists are urging President Joe Biden to step down from the 2024 presidential race following his poor performance in the recent debate against Donald Trump. Prominent figures, including James Carville and Will Pierce, have advised donors to withhold funding from candidates who continue to support Biden. Carville and others argue that the party needs to offer a new candidate, citing Biden's declining poll numbers and health concerns. Additionally, there is apprehension about Vice President Kamala Harris’s ability to attract swing voters if she were to replace Biden. This internal pressure from donors is causing a significant rift within the Democratic Party.
