Major Donors Withdraw Support from Obamas Amid Marriage Rumors

Support for former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama is waning as rumors about their marriage troubles circulate. Major donors, including Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky, have reduced their financial support for the Obama Presidential Center, with fundraising dropping over 50% compared to the previous year. Some donors have expressed dissatisfaction with Barack Obama's perceived arrogance and lack of reciprocal support in fundraising efforts. There are also concerns regarding over $5 million in executive compensation and a pending $40 million racial discrimination lawsuit related to the center's construction. Supporters are anxiously awaiting the 2024 fundraising totals amid these challenges. The situation raises questions about the future of the center and the Obamas' standing among their benefactors.
