House leader shared Democrats’ ‘insight, heartfelt perspectives and conclusions about the path forward’ with Biden; about $90 million of Biden’s campaign funds reportedly frozen
In poll news that contains some grist for Joe Biden’s team, a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist survey shows the race to be statistically unchanged from last month’s debate, despite the welter of political fallout it produced.
The president has even gained one point on Donald Trump in a head-to-head match up, showing him up 50% to 48%. However, that changes to give Trump a 43% to Biden’s 42% advantage, when third party candidates are introduced.
The frozen contributions include multiple eight-figure commitments, according to the two people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity given the sensitivity of the situation. The decision to withhold such enormous sums of money is one of the most concrete examples of the fallout from Mr. Biden’s poor debate performance at the end of June.
Future Forward declined to comment on any conversations with donors or the amounts of any pledged money being withheld. A Future Forward adviser would say only that the group expected contributors who had paused donations to return once the current uncertainty about the ticket was resolved.
