Anyone who knows anything about Abigail Disney knows that she is a Democrat. The granddaughter of Roy Disney has not had to worry about money thanks to her grandfather and great-uncle Walt Disney. She is financially set because of the two men, but that doesn’t stop her from calling her great-uncle Walt someone who “bordered on fascism.” Now, she is using her money to attempt to force Joe Biden out of running for President of the United States again in 2024.
According to reports, Abigail is threatening to withdraw her donations from the Democratic Party unless President Biden is removed from the race and Kamala Harris is put in instead.
“I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket. 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 continues that Vice-President Kamala Harris should be the Presidential candidate instead.
“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.”
Disney is not the only rich person threatening to pull funding from the Democratic Party. Other wealthy individuals have also made the same threats. This could cost the Democrats tens of millions of dollars.
Meanwhile, President Biden met with dozens of Democratic governors to assess his ability to lead. Governors from states like Minnesota, Maryland, and New York have decided to support the President for re-election, saying they are convinced he is fit to lead the country.
While the governors believe he is fit for office, the threat of financial loss from donors could lead to his removal.
Time will tell.
