(10,031 posts)"Until these high-dollar donors are named and speak out, I'm not believing anything else they tell me. It's too easy to just blame unknown "mega donors" with no name."

"On a Tuesday in early July, 75 wealthy Democratic political donors gathered on a Zoom call to discuss the path forward for President Joe Biden after his calamitous debate performance against Donald Trump, according to a person on the call.
Only one of the donors said they thought Biden should stay in the race, this person said. All the others made it very clear that they believed Biden needed to drop out of the race, if the party wanted to defeat Trump in November. People who spoke to CNBC for this story were granted anonymity to speak freely about a sensitive matter.
Since then, big money donors who fund either the Biden campaign, his allied political action committees or the party at large have launched a lobbying campaign aimed at senior Democrats in both the House and Senate.

If you have somehow missed this fact that the rich dem donors were pushing hard for him to drop out then just do some googling and see for yourself.
