Related: About this forumA personal observation about Biden's fundraising...
In 2016, the big dollar donors that I engage with maxed out to Clinton on the day she announced, as did my wife and I. This time, most of them have left their wallets closed (other than some marginal contributions to help candidates get on the debate stage) waiting for the field to clear out. None of my friends have hosted a Biden event or invited me to one. What that says though, is that Biden is not seen as the "obvious" establishment choice.
Biden is focusing his fundraising on high dollar donors while focusing on traditional bulking up on paid staffers. The problem is that he's drawing from a small pool of high dollar donors, which are likely already maxed out at this point.If he can't show more success in polling, or small dollar fundraising, he may be in serious trouble going in to the new year.
