President Biden‘s campaign funding might slow to a trickle if he stays in the race … at least according to a 6-figure donor who says democratic supporters are analyzing poll numbers and reacting.
Whitney Tilson‘s an author and investment expert who gives at least $100k a year to the Dems, but Thursday on “TMZ Live” he told us more and more donkey party donors are revolting — over the president staying in the race — the best way possible … by closing their checkbooks.
Tilson explains donors aren’t panicking because of the polls, but instead, they’re making cold, calculated decisions based on concrete data — numbers that show there’s a low probability Biden’s gonna win in November.
He says at least one top Democratic party official told him the internal polling — which only Biden’s campaign officials see — is even worse than what the public sees.
As for support eroding around the prez … Tilson says he thinks a vast majority of Democrats would say they want Biden to step down if their answer was kept under lock and key.
BTW, Whitney isn’t dragging Biden, he says he’s been a wonderful public servant, but no one he knows thinks 46 can do another full term.
Of course, George Clooney got many Democrats’ attention with the op-ed he wrote asking Biden to drop out of the race … and, other celebs like Michael Douglas are doubling down on George’s request.
But, Whitney’s intel is it’s not just celeb support that’s waning for Biden going forward.
