‘Dam Has Broken’: Dem Donor Says There’s ‘Almost No Support’ Left For Biden

A major donor to the Democratic Party claims that following President Joe Biden’s horrid debate against former President Donald Trump, during which he seemed vacant, confused, and had difficulty speaking, support for his reelection bid is drying up.
Donor Whitney Tilson said Wednesday on CNN there’s “almost no support” left for Biden and predicted he could actually announce he won’t seek reelection within days.
Tilson appeared on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” to discuss ongoing reactions to President Biden’s widely criticized debate performance. During the interview, host Erin Burnett questioned Tilson about his public comments concerning Biden, inquiring whether his outspoken stance might encourage others to call for the president to step down.
“I think that the dam has broken and that more and more people will come out publicly. I can tell you with certainty that as recently as last Friday and Saturday after the debate, there were quite a few people who felt like it was just an off night. As of today, I can‘t find anybody — and I am a hard, hardcore Democrat and Biden supporter,” Tilson said.
“I love Joe Biden. I respect the fact that he‘s an optimist, that he‘s a fighter, and that has served him well in the 52 years since he was first elected to the Senate. But it‘s different today, I‘m afraid. The ship has sailed and there is basically no almost no support remaining for him as a candidate. Not against him personally, but because nobody thinks he can be Trump and I think, unfortunately, that is correct.”
“I think we‘ve reached a tipping point where from everything I‘m hearing, both in the polls, talking to donors seeing what politicians are saying behind the scenes,” Tilson added. “Only very few have gone public, but trust me, they‘re all saying the same thing privately. They just don‘t want…They actually think by going public Joe Biden will dig in his heels and it will be contrary to what we all want.”
Following Biden’s problematic debate performance, where he was criticized for freezing mid-statements and inaccuracies, early post-debate polls indicate an increasing lead for Trump. This has led some Democrats and party donors to support selecting a new nominee for the 2024 election.
Democratic National Committee (DNC) member James Zogby called out the president as he sent a letter Tuesday to committee leaders outlining a potential plan that could help the party move forward with another nominee, according to The New York Times.
