So seriously, how is this not outright election interference?
A well known mega-donor wants Biden to step aside. The mega-donor goes to a bunch of 'down ticket' Senators, Congressmen, etc and tells them they will not get any campaign money from him if they don't pressure the DNC and Joe Biden to replace Biden at the top of the ticket.
Is that not an actual threat toward each of these down ticket candidates?
Does that threat not explicitly detail a tit-for-tat or quid-pro-quo exchange that must happen for them to get money?
Did not the Democrats actually try to criminally impeach Trump on exactly this type of charge?
What am I missing? Oh, the double-standard. I forgot about that.

Hollywood Megadonor Tom Strickler Threatens Vulnerable Senate Dems: Publicly Abandon Biden or You Won’t Get Another Dime

A prominent Hollywood megadonor is putting the screws to vulnerable Senate Democrats by pressuring them to publicly abandon Joe Biden, saying he won’t give them another dime unless they call on the president to quit his bid for re-election.
Tom Strickler — who co-founded the Hollywood talent agency WME, which is now part of Endeavor — has launched an all-out assault on Joe Biden’s campaign, according to a New York Times report. He has already met with Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM), delivering the senator an ultimatum.
“If you don’t publicly call for Biden to step aside,” Strickler said he told Sen. Heinrich’s team on Thursday morning, “you are not getting a dime from me.”
Strickler told the Times that he had also been planning to give the maximum legal amount in August to each of the seven most vulnerable Democratic Senate candidates, but that as of now, he would not be supporting them because they have not broken with Biden.
“It’s a message that I’ve encouraged my friends to send as well,” he told the newspaper. “If you back Biden, you will lose our support. Over and out.”
This comes just as Jeffrey Katzenberg, who serves as Biden’s campaign co-chair, held an emergency meeting Wednesday with the 81-year-old president in Las Vegas where he warned that donations are drying up due to ongoing concerns about the president’s age, according to a Semafor report.
Tom Strickler is the latest Hollywood Democrat megadonor to bail on Team Biden following the president’s humiliating debate performance during which a clearly disoriented Biden had trouble completing sentences, lost his train of thought multiple times, and blurted out gibberish (“we finally beat Medicare”). . . .
