Major Donor Drafts ‘I Quit’ Letter for Biden to Help Him Leave With Dignity – Reports

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - One of the Democratic Party's key donors has prepared a farewell speech for US President Joe Biden so he can leave the presidential race with dignity amid growing calls from his fellow party members to make way for a more promising candidate against Donald Trump, The Daily Beast reported.

The donor, whose name has not been yet disclosed, but who is known to be from the Western Coast of the United States, has drawn a speech consisting of 11 bullet points that should sound "victorious" as Biden delivers it to his constituents to step aside, the report said on Wednesday.
The main messages in Biden's speech will be warnings about the need to save American democracy, which is allegedly threatened by Trump, as well as a call for Americans to be united, according to the report.
In the speech, Biden would also promise to end the war in Gaza and support the Democratic Party’s new candidate, the report added.
While the letter has not made its way to Biden’s table, it is already circulating among Democrats amid a sharp decline in donations to the Biden campaign, the report said.
