Biden donor reveals 'grifting' advisors he blames for debate disaster

Daily Mail  

A top donor to Joe Biden has slammed three of the president's most trusted aides after the president's horror show at the first debate in Atlanta Thursday night. Morgan called out whom he felt were 'grifters' like former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, White House senior adviser Anita Dunn and Biden's personal attorney, Bob Bauer, who is Dunn's husband. Biden's family were reportedly also critical of the trio, asking what had happened in debate rehearsals, where Bauer was a stand-in for Trump. Despite mounting pressure from the Democrats to consider his political future after a car-crash debate performance, Joe Biden seems to be staying firmly in the race with Jill Biden stubbornly standing by his side.
