'Democratic Party strangling itself': Rage at donors 'bribing politicians' to oust Biden

Never-Trumpers were rattled Thursday amid a report that a group of Democratic donors pledged millions to lawmakers who've defected or criticized President Joe Biden.

A group of 30 donors in New York — including crypto billionaire Mike Novogratz, Hollywood filmmaker Andrew Jarecki, and donor and operative Gideon Stein — have pledged $2 million to a House Democrat Super PAC to support Democrats who criticized Biden, Jake Sherman reported for Punchbowl News.

The lawmakers include Reps. Angie Craig of Minnesota, Marie Glusenkamp Perez of Washington, Jared Golden of Maine, and Pat Ryan of New York.

The report led anti-MAGA users on X to collectively bemoan the continued split in the party.

"so big donors are paying house democrats who come out against Biden," a resigned @BeSeriousUSA wrote, adding an up arrow emoji.

"Wait a sec, donors are now bribing politicians to shiv their own incumbent? that is f-ed," wrote @BDubes82.

"So they were given money to do it," said @kiminca25.

Mike Madrid, a strategist and co-founder of the pro-democracy organization The Lincoln Project, remarked: "The Democratic Party is strangling itself."

In response to Madrid, @sydrasmith replied, "Looks more like the donor class are sabotaging the party."

And @omarsultan took the view that, "It must be so much easier to be a Republican."
