Democratic Party mega-donor and heir to the Disney empire, Abigail Disney, declared on Thursday that she will stop contributing to the party unless Joe Biden withdraws from the contest.
“I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket,” she told CNBC.
“This is realism, not disrespect. Biden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high. If Biden does not step down the Democrats will lose. Of that I am absolutely certain. The consequences for the loss will be genuinely dire.” she continued.
Disney proposed Vice President Kamala Harris as Biden’s successor.
“We have an excellent Vice President. If Democrats would tolerate any of her perceived shortcomings even one tenth as much as they have tolerated Biden’s (and let’s not kid ourselves about where race and gender figure in that inequity) and if Democrats can find a way to stop quibbling and rally around her, we can win this election by a lot.” she concluded.
