The tech billionaire Mark Pincus has joined a growing chorus of Democratic donors pushing Joe Biden to exit the White House race, as the president loses the support of big backers he was counting on to fund his re-election bid.
Pincus, founder of the video games company Zynga, said the party needed to hold a contest to replace Biden with a younger candidate that could revive Democrats’ chances of defeating Donald Trump in November.
“I don’t see how President Biden will ever get around this age competency issue at this point,” Pincus told the Financial Times. “I think the best chance for the Democratic party will be an open convention where someone else can step in.”
