Just when everyone thought Joe Biden’s campaign couldn’t look any shakier, here come the megadonors with their checkbooks slammed firmly shut. It turns out that these financial heavyweights are putting their money on pause unless Sleepy Joe steps down, and it’s causing quite the spectacle in the Democratic circus. Other donors are also catching wind of the chaos, and it’s a no-brainer why they’re hesitant. Biden’s mental health is the hot topic dominating national discussion, and with him leading the charge, down-ballot races are heading straight for disaster.
Biden’s campaign coffers are drying up faster than a California reservoir in summer, with fundraising numbers taking a nosedive. Apparently, a debate nearly two weeks ago dealt a significant blow to the re-election machine, and Biden’s team is bracing for even worse. Insiders are describing the situation as disastrous, and when the money stops flowing, that’s a sign of a sinking ship. Despite a spokesperson’s half-hearted attempt to paint a rosier picture, the reality is stark. Sure, they might have had a few first-time donors from grassroots, but it’s the big fish that count, and they’re swimming away.
Biden's Fundraising Operation Is Collapsing https://t.co/W9csMGtcGR

The tensions within Biden’s camp go beyond just fundraising. Doubts about his cognitive abilities are spreading like wildfire. Even donors are scratching their heads, wondering what polls Biden is referencing when he makes his overly optimistic claims. It’s a scene straight out of an alternate reality. Donors are seriously questioning whether the president’s team is even aware of what’s going on in the real world, or if they’re just deluding themselves inside their echo chamber. No wonder the high rollers are reluctant to reach out to their networks—they’re not even sure Biden will last until the convention.
The poll denialism has become the comedic relief in this tragic comedy. Before the debate, Biden was already trailing Trump in key swing states. Post-debate, it’s a bloodbath. Trump’s once narrow lead has widened considerably, leaving Biden in the dust. It’s almost laughable how Biden’s team tries to spin it, suggesting Trump hasn’t gained. Newsflash, Joe: When the incumbent gets trounced as badly as you did, people jump ship. Your 2020 supporters are already casting their vote with their feet, walking right over to Trump’s camp.
The writing’s on the wall, and Biden’s circus act is losing its audience. With his team refusing to acknowledge the obvious, it’s no surprise donors aren’t eager to toss their hard-earned money into a losing venture. The Democratic National Convention might as well start practicing their sad trombone routine because Biden’s fundraising numbers are nothing short of disastrous. Lame duck doesn’t even begin to cover it.
