Major Dem Donor Drafts ‘I Quit’ Speech for Biden as Cash Dries Up
An eleven-point “victory speech” drawn up by a major Democratic donor and designed to let Joe Biden quit the presidential race with grace has been obtained by the Daily Beast.
The speech was drawn up as top Democratic leaders beg the embattled president to exit the race, according to a growing number of party strategists and leaders late Wednesday.
The crisis engulfing his candidacy had fallen briefly out of the limelight after the attempted assassination of his rival Donald Trump but roared back to life Wednesday as in quick succession California Rep. Adam Schiff called for Biden to quit and the president was diagnosed with Covid, forcing him off the campaign trail.
