A longtime financial supporter of the Democratic Party is withholding all donations, vowing to only give after the removal of President Joe Biden from his own ticket.
Abigail Disney, granddaughter of Walt Disney Co. co-founder Roy Disney, told CNBC of her new position on Thursday.
The move deprives Democrats of a household last name and highlights the growing fallout from Biden’s debate disaster.
“I intend to stop any contributions to the party unless and until they replace Biden at the top of the ticket,” Disney said. “This is realism, not disrespect.
“Biden is a good man and has served his country admirably, but the stakes are far too high.”
