The consequences of not replacing Biden are seen as dire by donors like Disney and others \u200cwho believe a new candidate is needed to defeat Trump in the upcoming election.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"> <?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<header> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/commentary\/\">  Commentary <\/a>  <\/p>\n<h2>Top Democratic Donor Halts All Funding Until Biden Is Removed: &#8216;This Is Realism, Not Disrespect&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p> <span> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jharris\/\">  <\/a> <\/p>\n<p> <span>   By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/author\/jharris\/%20\"><span>Jared Harris<\/span><\/a> <\/span> <span>   July 5, 2024 at 12:36pm <\/span> <\/span>  <\/header>\n<section>\n<p>A longtime financial supporter of the Democratic Party is withholding all donations, vowing to only give after the removal of President Joe Biden from his own ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Walt Disney Co. co-founder Roy Disney, told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/07\/04\/democratic-donors-wont-finance-party-until-joe-biden-drops-out.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a> of her new position on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The move deprives Democrats of a household last name and highlights the growing fallout from Biden\u2019s debate disaster.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket,\u201d Disney said. \u201cThis is realism, not disrespect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the June 27 showdown between Biden and his 2024 election opponent former President Donald Trump, the sitting 81-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sorry-mr-president-10-reasons-don-lemon-is-not-one-of-the-most-informed-journalists-in-the-country\/\" title=\"Sorry, Mr. President: 10 Reasons Don Lemon Is Not \u2018One Of The Most Informed Journalists In The Country\u2019\">president suffered<\/a> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/white-house-aide-tries-gaslighting-america-says-biden-simply-prepared-debate-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series of worrying mental lapses<\/a> and gave seemingly incoherent answers.<\/p>\n<p>The fallout from this first presidential debate was immediate, with many within the Democratic Party itself calling for Biden to be replaced as the primary candidate on the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>Reports indicate that party insiders are leaning toward Biden\u2019s running mate Vice President Kamala Harris as the top candidate for a revamped 2024 campaign. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/top-pick-biden-replacement-leaks-democrats-making-big-mistake-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harris is the only person<\/a> who can inherit both the campaign\u2019s existing infrastructure and $91.2 million war chest.<\/p>\n<p>Abigail Disney seems to recognize the grave danger of letting Biden continue on the ticket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Biden does not step down, the Democrats will lose,\u201d the heiress said. \u201cOf that I am absolutely certain.
