Major Democrat donors are holding$ 90 million in donations to the biggest pro-Biden super PAC, Future Forward, prisoner as long as he continues to be on the top of the Democratic ticket, in a major blow to President Joe Biden’s re-election battle, according to a statement from the New York Times.

The freezing efforts, according to solutions with knowledge of the situation, include several eight-figure commitments, and the article gives the impression that Mr. Biden’s poor discussion efficiency at the end of June has led to this conclusion.
A Future Forward director said they anticipated that participants who had paused their gifts would gain “once the current uncertainty about the solution was resolved.” However, Future Forward declined to comment on the specifics of donation meetings or the sums involved.

Despite the drying up of gifts, Biden remains angry. ” I believe I’m the best qualified to govern”, he asserted during his “big boy” press conference Thursday night. And I believe I am the most eligible to win.
Donors clearly do n’t think so.
The two people who were informed about the frozen pledges declined to identify which individual donors were withdrawing their promised checks, which were thought to be worth upwards of$ 90 million. How much of the pledged funds went toward Future Forward’s super PAC, compared to its philanthropic arm, which has also been running ads in important battleground state. According to a separate people close to the party, the super PAC has been hesitant to make significant strategic decisions until it is clear who will command the spot.
The money ice comes as Mr. Biden’s plan has begun to pit Vice President Kamala Harris against former president Donald J. Trump, and some advisers are discussing how to urge him to run out of the race. The number of parliamentary Liberals urging Mr. Biden to step down is increasing daily.

While some surveys have shown that Biden performs better in head-to-head matches with Trump, another surveys have shown that his approval scores are lower than those of his potential rivals.
After the discussion, a leaked surveys from a party closely connected to Future Forward revealed that the super PAC had evaluated the viability of possible Biden options, including Ms. Harris and Governor. Gavin Newsom of California, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Pete Buttigieg, the transport director.
According to the poll, Mr. Biden received a lower total favorability rating than the other candidates.
For Biden, this is a real hazard. Without campaign cash, he ca n’t hope to compete against Trump. As we’ve reported before, Biden’s grass funding is much, much behind Trump’s. Biden needs rich donors to fund his campaign, and without them, he ca n’t hope to continue.
