(1,776 posts)9. I'm sure Schiff is concerned about the Senate.
He is safe but if Democrats lose the senate, say because donors cut off funding like they're threatening to do if these guys don't come out demanding he step aside, it impacts his position too. He probably sees much more opportunity from his end if Democrats hold their majority and if the big donors start pulling back that funding, especially in swing races, their majority is at risk.
Certainly polls don't indicate Biden is a drag on many of these senate Democrats. But losing money would absolutely be a drag in a lot these races.

I'm find out a bit more billionaire Mike Novogratz. He's gay. Part of him is Dem. The other part is GOP.

It's not a stretch to think if he's holding back direct donations that he would PAC donations too.

Thanks. At least the article indicates some other big donors are staying the course behind Biden.

I don't think they just want Biden out. It seems to me they already have someone in mind who will cater to them.

So you don't find it curious that two days ago a mega donor demanded Sen. Heinrich come out against Biden...

The point is not whether they want Trump to lose...it is that they are willing to kowtow to the money guys

The bottom line to all this BS that President Biden has to step aside is "money". IMO
