        A lot of them don’t want him. Hell, huge amounts of Republicans are following Nikki and voting Dem now. They have become a cult, and like any cult, they become more radical over time. The more radical they become, the less that remain, making the remaining few even more radical. That happens over and over till there are a very radical few left who do something crazy.

      Biden was never getting donations because he’s Biden.

      He got them because he’s not trump, something Kamala shares. And Biden was even getting some donations held back after his debate.

      So as soon as he stepped down there was going to be a short term flood and long term… Probably exactly the same.

      It’s something Biden supporters just couldn’t understand about Biden. Literally anyone else has all the positives because Joe’s only positive was the letter by his name.
