Former Obama aides claim Democratic donors are still holding back after being burned by 2024 loss
"Pod Save America" hosts say Democratic donors are holding back despite what they call a generational midterm election opportunity for the party.
Former Obama advisers hosting the “Pod Save America” podcast suggest that some major Democratic donors are withholding funds due to frustration over the 2024 election loss and fear of targeting by Donald Trump. Other consultants argue that Democrats lack an attractive, positive agenda and are shifting towards socialist policies, alienating wealthy supporters.
