But wait, there's more:

But Reed Hastings, the Netflix co-founder and Democratic megadonor, was among those who urged the president to stand down. On Sunday, he said only that party delegates “need to pick a swing-state winner”.

Vinod Khosla, the entrepreneur and investor, went further. “I want an open process at the convention and not a coronation,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “The key still is who can best beat Trump above all other priorities.”

Stephen Cozen, a veteran Democratic donor and Biden supporter, said he was “100% behind” Harris, and added that the party’s nominee should not be decided by “some high-profile donors, who may or may not have good or bad intentions”.

In an interview with the Guardian, Cozen dismissed calls for an open primary. “It’s some utopian dream that some people may have,” he said. “But it’s unrealistic. It’s not reality.

“The reality is, if we start coalescing around [Harris] tomorrow, and she picks a really good person to be her running mate, and the money starts coming in again, and we start some good attacks on Trump and the Magas and Project 2025, we’ll win. There’s no question we will win.”
