A Biden megadonor declines to support Kamala Harris's "coronation," stating that she is unable to defeat Trump.
John Morgan advises Democrats to choose their candidate through the convention procedure.
A major donor to the Democratic Party is not convinced that Vice President Kamala Harris can defeat former President Trump and is declining to contribute to her campaign.
John Morgan, an attorney from Orlando who gave $1 million to the Biden campaign, announced that he is "out" since Harris is predicted to be the Democratic nominee with Biden's endorsement.
Morgan stated on "The Ingraham Angle," Monday that he did not prefer a coronation over a convention because he believed the latter would have produced a stronger candidate.
"I don't believe she can win."
Nancy Pelosi's influence was significant in Joe Biden being chosen as the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee before the upcoming convention.
"After Pelosi endorsed her, the convention ended because Pelosi had called for a mini-convention. That's over. It's now Kamala Harris, and they'll have to live and die with her."
However, Morgan is not convinced that Harris is the strongest candidate.
"If the two strongest individuals were chosen to win, I believed it would be the best option. However, it seems they did not do so."
Morgan suggested other names that he thinks would have a better shot.
"I believe a combination of Joe Manchin, Andy Beshear, Josh Shapiro, and Mark Kelly could lead to a successful outcome."
If the Trump campaign had the option to choose their opponent, they would select Harris, according to Morgan's opinion.
Recent polls show that Trump leads Harris by about two percentage points, with Harris having a slight advantage over Biden's average polling performance, where he was three percentage points behind Trump.
In a hypothetical matchup against Trump, Harris was only one percentage point behind in a New York Times/Siena College poll conducted in Pennsylvania from July 9-11, before Biden dropped out and the assassination attempt on Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In Virginia, Harris led Biden by five percentage points, while Biden only led Trump by a razor-thin margin, according to the Times. Harris also polled slightly better than Biden among Black voters, younger voters, and women in both states.
