Joe Biden’s hopes of having a sprawling presidential library have taken a massive hit. Recent reports indicate that Democrat donors are withholding their contributions over anger swirling around his pardon of Hunter Biden.
Axios notes that they spoke with “top Democrats” who are so livid over “Biden’s abrupt, clumsy pardon of his son” that they are tightening their grip on their wallets.
“If they had their s**t together, they would have been doing the work on this over the summer — right after he announced he was stepping aside,” one connected source told the outlet. “Now, it’s just too late. Hopefully, they are rightsizing their expectations and budget!”
Now, if you’re like me, you’re probably wondering what a Biden presidential library might look like. Perhaps, when you walk through the double front doors, you will see a Corvette parked in the main vestibule, the back seat stacked with classified documents.
Does the library close at noon? Or can members simply call a lid at that time, retire to the nap-time break room, and indulge in some free pudding pops?
Maybe a room where you can skinnydip in front of Secret Service agents or randomly sniff people. The possibilities are endless.
Journalist Mark Halperin had some notion of what the Biden presidential library might look like, revealing his thoughts in a discussion with Fox News host Jesse Watters.

Several Democrats criticized Biden’s decision to pardon Hunter ahead of his sentencing

Some frustrated Democrats are reportedly considering withholding donations to President Biden’s future presidential library over his pardon of Hunter Biden.
“If they had their s— together, they would have been doing the work on this over the summer — right after he announced he was stepping aside,” a Democrat, who remained anonymous, told Axios. “Now, it’s just too late. Hopefully they are rightsizing their expectations and budget!”
Several Democrats have expressed frustration over the pardon, which the president announced just ahead of Hunter’s sentencing on Sunday. Biden had repeatedly said he had no plans to pardon Hunter.
Biden’s presidential library will likely be built in Delaware, according to Axios, and will be spearheaded by deputy chief of staff Annie Tomasini and first lady Jill Biden’s top aide, Anthony Bernal.
“No, that sentiment hasn’t come up in a single donor conversation, and work is well underway,” a person familiar with Biden’s planning told the outlet, denying the sentiment from Democrats.
Democratic lawmakers acknowledged that while they understood Biden’s decision as a father, it undermined their posture on the rule of law.
“President Biden’s decision put personal interest ahead of duty and further erodes Americans’ faith that the justice system is fair and equal for all,” Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., said.
“I respect President Biden, but I think he got this one wrong,” Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., said. “This wasn’t a politically-motivated prosecution. Hunter committed felonies, and was convicted by a jury of his peers.”
