Some donors refuse to fund Democrats: what awaits Biden Angela Figin

Several major donors to the US Democratic Party have frozen $90 million in donations. At least until incumbent President Joe Biden withdraws from the presidential negotiations.

Biden's self-confidence creates a collision for the Democrats. On air 24 Channels political scientist Taras Zagorodniy explained why the Democratic Party cannot replace a candidate.

What Democrats hope for

Biden’s problem began at the beginning of the year, when social polls began to show Americans’ fears that the head of the White House simply would not last a second presidential term for health reasons.

If it was easy to change Biden, the Democrats would have done it long ago. However, the current US President is a figure who consolidates and suits everyone, and there are no other candidates who would unite the party around themselves, said Zagorodny.

Another problem is lack of time . It's already July and there's not much time left before the presidential election in November to promote another candidate.

Besides, Biden is quite stubborn Human. “He doesn’t want to leave,” the political scientist noted.

Now Democrats are hoping for the specifics of the electoral system of the United States of America. The United States has indirect presidential elections. In fact, Americans do not directly choose, for example, as in Ukraine, states choose there.

A candidate may get fewer votes, but the same candidate can win the election due to the fact that he wins the majority of states. By the way, this happened in 2016, when Hillary Clinton received 2 million more votes, but Donald Trump still won the election, Zagorodny added.

Note that analysts suggest that the news of the donation freeze is one example of the consequences of Biden's poor performance at the debate with Donald Trump.
