According to many sources close to the Biden reelection campaign, campaign contributions have collapsed following the dismal presidential debate, according to an NBC News report.
According to people close to the campaign, contributions had already started to decline, but after President Joe Biden stammered and stumbled through the CNN debate with Trump, the situation became worse.
‘Donors are not positive. I don’t believe they accept it.
One source declared, “It’s already devastating.”
It’s already terrible, according to a different source.
According to two of the sources, there was a tendency for significant contributors to reduce their gifts by 50% or more in July.
“Donors are not good. The president was on the phone with them. About Biden’s nationwide fundraising call with donors, a source stated, “I don’t think they buy it; the call felt so staged to them.”
The insider went on, “They called on the most devoted, die-hard supporters.” “The president didn’t face any difficult questions.”
According to the sources, donations did increase following the discussion but quickly fell off.
“We can manage without them.”
Lauren Hitt, a spokesman for the Biden team, attempted to refute the allegation.
“That’s not true,” she remarked.
“The campaign’s first seven days of July had the best start to the month in terms of grassroots fundraising, and many of those donors were first-timers,” Hitt continued. “We’ve also seen people max out on the high-dollar side since the discussion.”
The article did point out that Hitt refused to provide the total number of donors who had maxed out following the debate.
According to sources, the campaign was ready to move on without the donors who had left, believing that they would come back to prevent Trump from winning the presidency.
The sources describe the effort as follows: “We’ll accomplish it without huge funders if they don’t come along.”
“I have no idea what the f***ing movie is.”
Because they are unsure if Biden will continue to run, donors are also having trouble reaching out to their networks.
A senior bundler told NBC News, “You cannot reach out to somebody because someone may say, ‘Geez, I didn’t know, he has dementia.'” “At the moment, it seems like someone says, ‘Would you like to go see a movie?'” And in this instance, I’m expressing, “I have no idea what the f***ing movie is.”
The Trump campaign, on the other hand, following Trump’s conviction on 34 counts pertaining to a hush payment paid to adult film worker Stormy Daniels, the Trump campaign announced that their fundraising website had failed owing to excessive demand.
Subsequently, it declared that it had raised over $53 million the day following the guilty verdict.
While the Biden campaign only reported $264 million in contributions, the Trump campaign announced $331 million in second-quarter fundraising in July.
