“The call was not productive, and we wanted to apologize to each of you who joined for sharing that invitation.”
As Democrats in congress continue to walk away from Biden, the campaign had Vice President Kamala Harris field a group call with major donors in an effort to stop the flood.
Ms. Harris, of course, is in a delicate position: She must demonstrate loyalty to her boss but also be prepared to jump immediately to the top of the Democratic ticket if Mr. Biden were to withdraw. After the call, one group that had promoted it in advance apologized to its members for having done so.
“In just the past seven days, as you have heard, I’ve traveled to Pennsylvania, Michigan and North Carolina, and I am out here in these streets,” Harris said on a phone call with the donors, according to audio of the meeting obtained by POLITICO. “I am seeing that the American people are coming to understand the enormous consequence of this election and the stakes of this election. Many of us have been involved with these elections every four years, and nearly every time we say, this is the one.
CNN’s John King addressed the fundraising issue for the Biden campaign and Democrats during the network’s coverage of the final night of the RNC, and what he is hearing is pretty bad:
