Obama Donor Offers Another Reason Why the Dems Are Panicking About Joe Biden.
Joe Biden was never meant to run again, which is why Democratic Party donors are freaking out. His presidency was meant to serve as on-the-job training for Kamala Harris. His announcement to run again upset that consensus among the Democratic fundraising brass, which is why they’re panicking. He also said that if Biden remains firm in his commitment to remaining in this race, he will stay on the ticket despite the march toward civil war between governors, members of Congress, and megadonors.

Ever since Biden’s atrocious June 27 debate with Trump, there’s been a deluge of stories about the misery that’s engulfed the Democrats: the speaking out of both sides of one’s mouth, the megadonor revolt, the blaming of staffers for the president’s debate performance, and the Biden campaign’s apparent disturbing denialism about the whole situation. That alone is enough to send Democrats into a tailspin. Don Peebles, an Obama fundraiser, outlined this new theory about Biden reneging on being a one-term president with Fox News’ Will Cain this weekend:

Don Peebles: "The expectation for most of the Democratic fundraising community was the president Biden was going to do one term and move on. And, and Harris was going to learn to be president. And, and that is why he got support from a broad spectrum of Democratic fundraisers and Democratic leaders."

Will Cain: "Wow. So there was already a little bit of discontent with the idea that he's going to run again. He's going to move on. And now we see his actual capability, his his mental capacity. What do you think? You you raise funds. He he's pointing to fundraising, by the way. But we also hear stories about donors who are starting to join the chorus along with congressmen, maybe a few senators. Certainly the media who are backing away from Joe Biden. What do you think will be the move here? Do you think Joe Biden can kind of withstand this snowball of opposition within his own party?"

Peebles: "Well, he's prepared for it because he entered every Democratic primary and has locked up the delegates. So it's his decision and his decision alone. And on his broadcast of the interview with Stephanopoulos yesterday, he indicated it would take God to come down and get him out of the race.

So if he continues to have that approach and have that attitude, he will be the Democratic nominee. I do not think most people expected him to run for a second term. And, and now they're panicking."
