Democratic donors are reportedly planning to withhold approximately $90 million in contributions to a pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, as concerns about Biden's reelection viability continue to grow. This decision comes in the wake of a lackluster debate performance by the president and mounting pressure from Democratic officials urging him to step aside.
Sources cited by the New York Times revealed that the pause on donations includes several commitments in the eight-figure range. One donor mentioned that the super PAC has persistently reached out for contributions post-debate, but he is currently refraining from donating. An adviser for Future Forward expressed optimism that donations will pick up once the uncertainty surrounding the presidential ticket is resolved.
Despite the funding setback, Biden remains resolute in his commitment to continue his reelection campaign. His staff has publicly affirmed his intention to stay in the race, with Biden himself stating during a recent news conference that there is still a long way to go in the campaign, and he is determined to press forward.
