A call between Vice President Kamala Harris and about 300 Democratic donors left many feeling frustrated and disappointed due to poor planning and lack of insightful information provided. Donors had joined hoping for guidance in the aftermath of President Joe Biden’s debate performance, but left feeling admonished instead. The call was organized by Biden’s campaign chair, Jen O’Malley Dillon, and featured Harris praising Biden and expressing confidence in defeating former President Donald Trump.
Following the call, donations to the Biden-Harris campaign have decreased, leading to concerns about Biden’s future on the ticket. During a campaign fundraiser in Provincetown, Massachusetts, Harris praised Biden and his presidency, earning applause from the audience. However, some attendees expressed support for Harris becoming the party’s nominee and believed that Biden should step aside due to concerns about his ability to win against Trump.
Despite the positive reception at the fundraiser, some donors expressed frustration at being admonished during the call with Harris and being told to support Biden without question. Others felt that the donors should not have expected confidential information from the call and criticized the leaking of details to the media.
Overall, the call with Harris and the subsequent fundraiser highlighted the growing uncertainty and division within the Democratic party regarding Biden’s candidacy and the prospects of the upcoming election.
