Whitney Tilson, a prominent Democrat benefactor, has expressed his concerns over the dwindling support for President Joe Biden within the Democratic Party and its donor class.
Tilson, who has been a staunch supporter of Biden, indicated that the "dam has broken" and that the President's support is rapidly eroding.
In a recent interview with CNN, as reported by The Post Millennial, Tilson discussed Biden's performance in the previous week's debate against former President Donald Trump. Trump, the 45th President, promptly claimed victory over Biden following the debate. Tilson's remarks reveal a growing disillusionment within the Democratic Party, "I think that the dam has broken and that more and more people will come out publicly. I can tell you with certainty that as recently as last Friday and Saturday after the debate, there were quite a few people who felt like it was just an off night. As of today, I cant find anybody and I am a hard, hardcore Democrat and Biden supporter, he stated.
Tilson, despite his personal admiration for Biden, expressed his fears about the current state of affairs, "I love Joe Biden. I respect the fact that hes an optimist, that hes a fighter, and that has served him well in the 52 years since he was first elected to the Senate. But its different today, Im afraid. The ship has sailed and there is basically almost no support remaining for him as a candidate," he added. He further noted, "Nobody thinks he can beat Trump."
The Democratic Party and its supporters nationwide, according to Tilson, have reached a "tipping point" in their support for Biden. This comes in the wake of Biden's lackluster debate performance, which led to the Biden-Harris campaign staff holding a meeting with donors to reassure them of Biden's viability as a candidate. The question remains, however, whether these reassurances will be enough to stem the tide of dwindling support.
