President Joe Biden in a public letter to congressional Democrats is standing firm against calls for him to drop his candidacy after his dismal debate performance.
But it was projected to cost 2 billion for Biden to beat Trump this election.
But the bulk of Biden’s money is in the BVF, something that the DNC has access to as well. Lots of people confuse that with Biden’s money only.
The majority of the money isn’t just controlled by Biden’s campaign.
I’d like to think he’d hand it over to the new candidate, but even if he doesn’t. Dark money won’t start flowing for another month or so that’s when it’s too late to track down before the election.
I haven’t told you any of my opinions, just a concern I was wondering about. I get that this topic is contentious, but I don’t know why you downvoted my comment as this is a legit question…
The DNC can nominate whoever, but one point of contention will be the millions in individual donations for Biden-Harris…
Millions sound like a lot…

Did you hear about it last election?

I don’t know whether or not campaign finance rules allow it, I was just thinking it will be problematic to that new person’s campaign.
If Biden cooperates gracefully, every penny he has for 2024 can go to the new candidate.
Or he can act like a petulant child and hold on to as much as he can out of spite to hurt his replacement
I don’t think what little he could hold onto would matter. And I don’t know if he’d give it up or fight to keep the money
But if your opinion of Biden is he will do anything to stop trump, then if he’s replaced his money isn’t an issue, he’d give it up immediately.

The comment you’re talking about…
I’m the only one that upvoted you, not the only one who down voted you
Lemmy votes don’t matter. But if you really care I could upload a screenshot to imgur and give you the link I guess.
Supposedly there’s a way to tell from Lemmy? I don’t know tho, because up votes don’t matter.
