A group of major Democratic donors has collected pledges of $90 million. However, they are not turning the money over to Joe Biden's campaign or the DNC. In fact, they told the largest Biden super PAC, Future Forward, that they will not give it to the Democratic candidate if Biden is the candidate. This is the kind of message that politicians tend to notice.
A group closely associated with Future Forward has been polling races between Donald Trump and each of Biden, Kamala Harris, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA), Gov Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and Pete Buttigieg. Biden does the worst of all of them. Could a woman really win? They know that a woman, Hillary Clinton, actually got 3 million more votes than Donald Trump in 2016, even though she was personally widely disliked. Could a Black man be elected president? One actually was—two times, in fact. The combination of Black and woman hasn't been tried yet, however. (V)
