Some major Democratic donors have told the largest pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, that pledges worth roughly $90 million are now on hold if President Biden remains atop the ticket, according to two people who have been briefed on the conversations.

The frozen contributions include multiple eight-figure commitments, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation. The decision to withhold such enormous sums of money is one of the most concrete examples of the fallout from Mr. Biden’s poor debate performance at the end of June.

Future Forward declined to comment on any conversations with donors or the amounts of any pledged money being withheld. A Future Forward adviser would say only that the group expected contributors who had paused donations to return once the current uncertainty about the ticket was resolved.

    Wild that I cant see any of the comments because all the commenters have been blocked for spouting some dumb ass shit elsewhere on lemmy. I log out, and of course, every comment results in Biden-bad, and hence, for trump to be proxy-elected. Funny. cause my anonymous sources told me that fundraising is up.

    Also, the DNC reports it’s already hit it’s 85mil dollar goal.

      When the Blue MAGA hits so hard you can’t see any comments because everyone criticizing Biden must be a Russian bot.

      everyone is pushing for trump to be proxy-elected.

      You mean with Biden as nominee right?

      Because the only way Trump wins is if Biden stays the nominee.

      Trump wants Biden as nominee. Bannon wants Biden as nominee. Heritage Foundation wants Biden as nominee.

      So if you are advocating or insisting on Biden as nominee, thats your team.
