Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings on Wednesday joined a growing number of Democratic supporters in Hollywood publicly calling on President Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race following his debate performance last week.
“Biden needs to step aside to allow a vigorous Democratic leader to beat Trump and keep us safe and prosperous,” he wrote in an email to the New York Times. Hastings is one of the biggest Democratic donors to make such a statement, having contributed more than $20 million to the party alongside his wife, Patty Quillin, over the years. The couple first started donating during the Trump administration.
It is criminal to allow Biden to remain in the race.
