Read previewJill Biden quietly fed lines into President Joe Biden's ears, reminding him of a megadonor's name and telling him to thank them, New York Magazine's Intelligencer reported, citing an unnamed witness to the exchange.
Since his disastrous debate performance last week, Biden has tried to reassure Democratic governors, House Democrats, staffers, voters, and donors that he is fit for reelection.
But Biden is losing support among some Democratic donors, some of whom have publicly called on him to step aside.
Despite mounting pressure to exit the race, Biden told staffers he was "not leaving" during a Wednesday call with his campaign and Democratic National Convention staff, Politico reported, citing anonymous staffers on the call.
