Former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have been privately urging donors to continue supporting President Joe Biden's campaign following his recent debate performance that has caused turmoil within the Democratic Party.
Sources familiar with the situation revealed that the Clintons have been actively engaging with donors to maintain financial backing for Biden. While one source mentioned the Clintons' deference to Biden's decision, another source emphasized their deference to the democratic process.
Despite concerns raised by big-dollar donors about Biden's candidacy post-debate, the Clintons have reportedly expressed confidence in Biden as the party's presumptive nominee unless unforeseen circumstances arise.
One major Democratic donor expressed apprehension about the campaign's financial situation, highlighting the necessity of funding for effective campaigning. The donor questioned the viability of a strategy that relies on winning without adequate financial resources.
The donor speculated that the campaign might sustain itself for a short period without significant funding but warned of the challenges that would arise if the financial constraints persist.
The Clintons' efforts to rally support for Biden underscore their commitment to the Democratic cause and their belief in Biden's ability to secure the nomination for the upcoming election.
