A call between Vice President Kamala Harris and 300 major Democratic donors left many frustrated due to poor planning and lack of new insights on moving forward after President Joe Biden’s debate performance. The call, organized by Jen O’Malley Dillon, was criticized as rushed and mismanaged. Harris praised Biden and expressed confidence in beating former President Donald Trump. However, some donors were angered by being told to support Biden and not pursue efforts to push him out of the race. At a campaign fundraiser in Provincetown, Harris received applause for her and Biden’s record, but some attendees expressed a desire for Biden to step aside and let Harris become the party’s nominee. Despite the positive reception at the event, donors on the call expressed frustration with the lack of confidential information and admonishment. Meanwhile, calls for Biden to drop out of the race and allow Harris to take over as the nominee were voiced by some supporters. In her speech at the fundraiser, Harris emphasized the importance of fighting for progress and expanding rights despite opposition. The fallout from the call with donors highlights uncertainty within the Democratic party about Biden’s future in the race and the importance of handling internal debates and criticisms carefully.
