The US presidential election has seen a wave of unprecedented events, but one constant has been donor money pouring into campaign coffers.
Since surviving an assassination attempt on Saturday, former President Donald Trump has received a cascade of money, capped by billionaire Elon Musk’s pledge to donate $45 million a month to a super political action committee that aims to pay for Trump’s ground game in battleground states.
Despite a disastrous performance at the first presidential debate that caused murmurs that he should step aside to mount to a chorus, President Joe Biden raised $38 million from the day of the debate to the end of June for his campaign and party. Democratic mega donors also rallied to support him. Hedge fund manager George Soros donated $5 million to Future Forward PAC, the main super PAC backing Biden the day after the debate. Former Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt and real estate developer Herbert Simon made six-figure donations to Biden’s campaign and the Democratic Party in recent weeks.

Yes! We have the best system money can buy. And your voice dear voter? Democrats just aren’t interested, assuming you’ll just vote for who they put up. Tired of being treated this way? Think and act outside the box.
What we see here is a Democratic Party that had no foresight. Didn’t they realize in 2020 that Biden was definitely getting too old? Absolutely, he did more than any president in his tory in one term! He was wonderful! But now his age is clearly showing and he appears weak and feeble, truthfully. Dems should have begun searching for a 2024 candidate back in 2021 so that we would not be in this position now. It seems way too late to change course now and I do believe Biden could still be a good president, but not travel as much. The ideas and will are still there. But how does that message get to the American people? Too many believe that his mental acuity is poor, but if they had watched Trump at his acceptance speech last night, they would have seen more than poor mental acuity! They would have seen a liar, a narcissist, a deranged person who just basked in all the applause and numbers in the crowd. He was often unhinged, strayed from his teleprompter and way off course. That’s because he’s NOT all there!!! But Biden would have given a speech about what he has done and will do for the American people, not about himself!!! That’s a huge difference. Trump has no plans to better American life, only with what he was proposing to make it worse! It does seem way too late for Dems to find a candidate with charisma, confidence and appeal, but maybe they will get lucky and find one. One can only hope, because another Trump administration will do untold harm to not just America but to the world
