Duh. They don’t want to piss their money away on Border Czar Harris
Some prominent Democratic donors are balking at contributing to Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential bid, suggesting she'd never beat Donald Trump because she's too unpopular.
Big money donors have quietly advised promising candidates -- who they view as the future of the party -- including Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo to hold their powder and let Harris clinch the democratic nomination.
Sources told The Post it is "impossible" for anyone besides Harris to get the nomination given the decision has to be made in mere weeks. These people add that it would be "suicide" to try and mount a challenge at this point since President Biden has anointed Harris as his successor.
One deep-pocketed donor told The Post he does not believe any Democrat can win in 2024 -- and that it makes sense for Harris to take the fall on some of Biden's most unpopular positions like immigration. The source dismissed the idea that Harris would push Democrats to victory, "It's the same ticket ... it's over for both of them [Biden and Harris]."
The person added that he and other donors will lay low the rest of 2024 and instead focus on supporting candidates they believe can win in 2028.
Other mega donors are opening up publicly on X about their concerns over Harris' political stances.
"You have to be enthusiastic or hoping for a political appointment to be asking friends for money. I am neither. It's others turn now," deep-pocketed donor John Morgan wrote on X, hours after Biden announced he was dropping out of the 2024 race.
"The donors holding the 90 million can release those funds in the morning. It's all yours. You can keep my million. And good luck," added Morgan, a Florida personal injury lawyer, referring to the group of party contributors who recently refused to allow their donated money to be used to fuel what was widely seen as Biden's doomed bid.
Morgan previously donated $1 million to the former Biden-Harris campaign.
He said he sees Biden's endorsement of his controversial second-in-command as the president's revenge.
"Joe Biden's endorsement of Kamala is his f--k you to all who pushed him out," Morgan wrote. "Be careful what you wish for."
