WASHINGTON, DC: President Joe Biden's reelection campaign supporters are now promoting "Plan B" and characterizing the circumstances as "Armageddon" after the 81-year-old was widely ridiculed for his debate performance against former President Donald Trump last week.

The change occurred as Biden's campaign disclosed that it has raised $264 million in the past three months, with at least $27 million coming in since the debate on Thursday, June 27. According to reports, however, donors are uneasy about Biden's onstage demeanor behind the scenes.

Fellow Democrat says raising funds for Joe Biden's campaign would be 'tough'

"Unless he shakes up the campaign and shows leadership, it’s going to be a really, really tough time with money," said one Democrat top fundraiser, per The Washington Post.

The source added that "it’s Armageddon" now among Biden donors and "people have got to see changes." 

The newspaper noted that one more significant Biden donor set up a Google Docs survey after the debate to find out what other donors thought.

About 74 percent Democrat donors think the party needs a 'Plan B'

According to the Google Docs survey, approximately 74 percent of the 65 donors who responded, backed the idea that "we need a Plan B," which includes taking into account fresh Democratic candidates for president and vice president.

By contrast, 15 percent of respondents said they supported Biden, and 11 percent said they were unsure.

Top Democratic donor John Morgan terms Joe Biden's preparation for the debate 'political malpractice'

Top Democratic benefactor John Morgan claimed to Politico that the "whole planning [and] preparation" that Joe Biden had received for the debate constituted "political malpractice."

He pointed finger at senior advisor Anita Dunn, former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and Dunn's husband, Bob Bauer, who served as Biden's personal attorney. "I think he has a misplaced trust in these three people, and I believe he has from the inception," Morgan told the outlet.

Another Democratic strategist from a battleground state added, "The number of people who have access to the president has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller" and "They’ve been digging deeper into the bunker for months now."

Democratic donor Whitney Tilson also echoed similar sentiments

Former hedge fund manager and Democratic donor Whitney Tilson also revealed to The New York Times that he got a critical text about the debate from a House Democrat.

"Biden’s debate performance was a catastrophe from which there may be no recovery," the text reportedly said.

Internet says changing candidates won't solve Democrats' problems

Netizens gave their opinions after news concerning donors' new plan broke out following Joe Biden's disastrous debate performance last week.

One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, "Changing candidate will not help them, only changing policies will."

Another mocked, "Plan B Democrats found God."

"If you're still going to vote democrat, please explain yourself..," one user remarked.

Someone else wrote, "Just take a cognitive test Joe. This will all go away. Oh wait…"

"Make him go away....sorry Jill, no tiara for you," added one user.
