Because that\u2019ll work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to move forward. Look, we have roughly 40 days til the convention, 120 days til the election. We can\u2019t waste any more time being distracted,\u201d Biden told donors, according to the report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have one job, and that\u2019s to beat Donald Trump,\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019m absolutely certain I\u2019m the best person to be able to do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we\u2019re done talking about the debate. It\u2019s time to put Trump in a bull\u2019s-eye.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The move was aimed at three classes of people who insist on continuing to talk about the debate: donors, the Democrats and the media.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the donors, they might be the toughest in the equation, considering that donations were already down <em>before<\/em> the great debate debacle of 2024.<\/p>\n<p>A report exactly one week prior by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2024\/06\/20\/biden-campaign-may-fundraising-total-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNBC<\/a> noted that data shared by Biden\u2019s camp showed the president\u2019s re-election campaign and the Democratic National Committee had raised $85 million combined in May. That total was completely eclipsed by the $141 million Trump and the Republican National Committee had raised combined during the same period.<\/p>\n<p>Days before the debate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/06\/23\/biden-trump-finances-00164566\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> noted that Biden\u2019s \u201callies are bracing for a slugfest without the benefit of a fatter wallet, as financial reports showed Trump outraising Biden in back-to-back months, hauling in huge sums after his 34 felony convictions and erasing Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/top-biden-fundraisers-report-depression-as-their-strategy-goes-up-in-smoke\/\" title=\"Top Biden Fundraisers Report &#039;Depression&#039; as Their Strategy Goes Up in Smoke\">longstanding financial edge<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, donors aren\u2019t going to be impressed by the debate performance or the campaign\u2019s scrambling measures afterward. A Monday article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/policy\/joe-biden-age-public-election-campaign-343a47bf?mod=hp_lead_pos7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Wall Street Journal<\/a> included numerous reports of donor frustrations with Biden\u2019s inner circle concealing the true state of the president\u2019s health from them.<\/p>\n<p>And then there are the Democrats. A steady trickle of reports of defections and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/another-house-democrat-calls-biden-step-abc-interview-not-decision-come-lightly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">open calls for Biden to step aside<\/a> have turned into a low drumbeat, at the very least.<\/p>\n<p>The number of on-the-record Democrats calling for his ouster has grown, and the number of those in leadership who are questioning Biden\u2019s candidacy or calling for the president to step aside behind closed doors is growing and includes names such as Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/end-feinsteins-career-gets-nasty-cedes-power-attorney-refuses-calls-resign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Patty Murray<\/a> of Washington and Rep. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2024\/07\/07\/jerry-nadler-adam-smith-congress-biden-00166733\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jerrold Nadler<\/a> of New York.<\/p>\n<p>Aimed at tackling these voices, the Biden campaign put out an open letter to Democrats on Monday, several hours before the recording of the call was made public by Politico, emphasizing many of the same themes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a Democratic nomination process and the voters have spoken clearly and decisively,\u201d Biden said in the letter. (Or, one suspects, someone else wrote in a letter Biden signed later, with staff getting his John Hancock by convincing the president he had to sign a check for the Girl Scout cookies he\u2019d bought for the rest of the White House staff after his attention started to wander three paragraphs into reading the thing to him. It\u2019s almost two pages, after all.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/salena-zito-mike-rowe-scholarship-highlights-the-lost-virtues-of-hard-work-and-sweat\/\" title=\"Salena Zito: Mike Rowe Scholarship Highlights the Lost Virtues of Hard Work and Sweat\">process open<\/a> to anyone who wanted to run. Only three people chose to challenge me,\u201d he said of Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips, self-help guru Marianne Williamson and environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne fared so badly that he left the primaries to run as an independent,\u201d the letter said. \u201cAnother attacked me for being too old and was soundly defeated. The voters of the Democratic Party have voted. They have chosen me to be the nominee of the party.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo we now just say that this process didn\u2019t matter? That the voters don\u2019t have a say?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden seems to think this question is rhetorical, but he wouldn\u2019t be writing this letter if it were.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This morning, I sent a letter to my fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill.
