It is indicated that Biden planned to raise money next week in Austin, Denver and California, but these plans were postponed.
According to journalists, several major donors “closed their checkbooks over the question of whether Biden should remain at the top of the Democratic Party's ticket.
It is noted that in July, it was planned to raise about $50 million in large contributions for the Biden Foundation, but “as of Friday, less than half of this amount has been received.
At the same time, Biden's headquarters responded to journalists' requests by saying that fundraising for his re-election campaign was going on as planned.
“Reuters' sources are incorrect, we look forward to an updated fundraising schedule,” campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz said on Friday.
They added that they had predicted that fundraising from mega-donors would decline from June to July because many of these people are on vacation.
