Pressure piles on Biden as donors freeze $90 million cash

Several major Democratic donors have informed Future Forward, the largest pro-Biden super PAC, that approximately $90 million in pledged donations is now on hold if President Joe Biden remains the candidate, according to The New York Times report.

These frozen contributions come at a time when Biden was aiming to move past a prolonged crisis within his party. This effort included a nearly hourlong news conference on Thursday evening, where he made a few gaffes but also showed a strong grasp of foreign policy.
