Biden is fighting for attracting donor -democrats for the Presidential Library

Former president Joe Biden New efforts to raise money for the presidential library are fighting for attracting donor -democrats, the report said.

More than half a dozen people who once were Biden’s large donors or fundraising were talking to NBC News. Most said they had no hostility to the former president, but they would either not give the library or give only a limited amount.

The donors pointed out several factors, including not wanting to make themselves the purpose of the Trump administration and left their money for the Democratic Party’s future. Some of them stated that they had personal interaction with Biden’s inner circle, which were so unpleasant that it would be difficult to raise considerable funds for the former president.

“I would like it to have a good library,” said one NBC News donor. “I just don’t see where I’m going to spend my money.”

Another donor said that he was “in any way” when he was asked to give the library.

Biden also faces residual disappointment with the party about his decision to initially re -election, despite his health problems, which eventually led to the race last summer after his heavily studied mental sharpness was displayed during the presidential debate against Donald Trump. Former Vice President Kamala Harris Then he quickly secured the nomination of the party before losing Trump in November.

“I want to return $ 800,000,” said John Morgan NBC News lawyer, citing the money he said he raised Biden, who went to Harris last year.

“I do not believe that the library will never be built if it is a bookmaker, from old times,” Morgan joked.

Susie Buel, the main donor of the party, said the exit that no one asked for a donation, but that it was “not inclined to give libraries”.

The chairman of the library council Rufus Giford, who headed the fundraiser for the re -elected Biden campaign and was the director of the former President Barack Obama, expressed optimism that the donors would want to contribute.

“Those of us who have been for a while and love the guy, but also understand the full picture who want to see what we can do to protect and promote our heritage,” said Giford NBC News. “It’s not about the past. It’s about the future.”

One person familiar with Biden’s plans said the project requires 200 to $ 300 million.

For comparison, the Obama presidential library opened in Chicago in the spring cost $ 850 million. President Donald Trump also raised millions of dollars for the future library, and a luxurious reagent, gifted by the US government royal family, will later be transferred to the Trump Library Fund – both movements that are careful about the Democrats.

“This is my opinion, there will be no significant building,” Morgan said, adding that age and medical problems Biden may mean that the former president may not help raise money for the library.

“The couple, given that (the party) is running, resting with its decision to look for a second term, and we have a Hindenburg that goes right to us.”
