President Biden is facing calls to step aside from some wealthy Democratic donors following his poorly received presidential debate performance, with at least two saying they’ll pause contributions while he’s still a candidate.
The big picture: Biden campaign officials held a call with anxious donors on Monday following his debate with former President Trump. But Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of Walt Disney Company cofounder Roy Disney, confirmed Thursday she’ll no longer donate to the Democratic Party while Biden’s in the race.
State of play: The Disney heiress and longtime Democratic Party supporter confirmed in a statement to CNBC on Thursday that she’d withhold donations to the party “unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket.”
