'No one wants her': Biden aides warned donors that replacing Joe with his handpicked VP would be a disaster

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : When Biden first picked Harris to run with him in the 2020 race, he stated that he considered her to be "the best person to help me take this fight to Trump and Mike Pence and then to lead this nation.
51% : Her selection of Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate -- presumably to enhance the ticket's appeal to men -- also appears to have backfired spectacularly, as Walz made numerous gaffes on the campaign trail and young male voters flocked to Trump on Election Day.
31% : Young people, Hispanic Americans, black voters and the politically disengaged broke from the Democrats and toward Trump in the 2024 election, shattering previous Democrat assumptions about the electorate and the appeal of the Trump agenda to ordinary American voters.
24% : "'Donors want to scrap Biden so they can get his wannabe replacements - the governors, with power over state decisions - to beg them for cash,' Biden aides argued.
20% : One person who spoke to Pelosi on the night of the fateful debate between Biden and Trump told the book's authors that Pelosi "actually was worried ... saying, 'Oh my God, it's going to be her'" as Biden fell apart on the stage.
10% : Ultimately, Harris lost to Trump in the Electoral College and popular vote, with Trump taking all seven swing states on his way back to the White House.
4% : While Obama did not think that Harris would beat Trump, he ultimately endorsed her and campaigned on her behalf because he was concerned that his own standing with Democrat elites could be at risk for taking too much action against Biden and Harris, the book claims.
