Several prominent Democrat donors have withdrawn their support for President Joe Biden following his widely criticized performance in the first presidential debate of the current election cycle, Newsweek reported.
On June 27, Biden , the presumptive Democrat nominee, faced Republican contender Donald Trump in Atlanta. During the debate, Biden 's responses were often incoherent, and he frequently trailed off without finishing his sentences, raising concerns among his supporters.
"As I'm sure many of you have, I've been thinking a lot about the electoral choice we have in with more focus over the past few days, and I keep returning to a conclusion I reached a while back but felt was not realistic enough as a scenario to be worth expressing," Conway wrote on X. "And that is that, for the good of the country and their own good, both of the major-party presidential candidates should retire," he added.
Similarly, media mogul and major Democrat donor Haim Saban, who has recently voiced disagreements with Biden on issues such as the administration's policies regarding Israel's war with Hamas, is also reassessing his support.
