President Biden's fundraising efforts are faltering as major Democratic donors
and officials call for him to drop out of the
2024 race.
Politico reports that donor fundraising is cratering,
with some canceling events and others refusing to donate until
Biden withdraws.
Sources say grassroots donations are also expected to drop by
25%
due to Biden's poor debate performance against Trump.
The unrest among donors echoes growing dissent within the Democratic
Party,
with the first Democratic senator,
Peter Welch, publicly urging Biden to step aside for the
good of the country.
Even Biden supporter George Clooney,
who recently hosted a $30 million fundraiser for the president.
Has now expressed doubts, saying the Biden he saw was
not the same as the one at the debate.
Other Hollywood figures like Michael Douglas and Mia Farrow have
also voiced concerns about Biden's viability as the Democratic nominee.
