Joe Biden's recent fundraising efforts in Wisconsin have faced setbacks following his performance in the first 2024 presidential debate against Donald Trump. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Biden was asked if he had reviewed the debate, to which he responded, "I don’t remember."
The New York Times reported that a planned fundraiser in Wisconsin has been canceled. The event was initially expected to raise $1 million, but following the debate, the target was reduced to $500,000. Despite this adjustment, donations fell short as several donors withdrew their commitments.
The report highlights challenges facing Biden's campaign schedule amid concerns over his re-election bid. The White House and campaign officials are managing logistics for upcoming events while addressing donor concerns. Some major donors have urged Biden to reconsider his candidacy and allow another candidate to lead the ticket.
Plans for sending Biden to Wisconsin later this month were discussed but ultimately abandoned due to insufficient financial support from local donors.
