Democratic Donors Quietly Seek Replacement for President Biden

Prominent Democratic donors, including Ari Emanuel, Abigail Disney, Mike Novogratz, and others, are discreetly exploring potential alternatives to President Biden due to worries over his debate performance. Governors Whitmer and Newsom are top contenders, but concerns of party division arise if Biden steps down.

Biden, however, remains resolute in his candidacy, while donors prepare backup plans with substantial funding for an alternative candidate. The Democratic party leaders are aware of the sentiments of these donors, with Vice President Harris also considered as a possible replacement.

Calls from some Democrats, including Senators and Representatives, are increasing for Biden to withdraw, citing concerns about his campaign's sustainability and potential impact on other Democratic candidates.
