But the reason Ramaswamy can post such a high burn rate is that, unlike those other candidates, he’s willing and able to front personal cash.—has loaned his campaign $15.2 million thus far. He’s already spent all of it, plus another half, raising the question of when he’ll need another round of self-investment.
Rep. Dean Phillips has been making calls to prospective presidential campaign staffers in New Hampshire in recent weeks, leaving longtime operatives in the state frustrated and confused, according to three Democrats familiar with the discussions. The three-term congressman, a center-left liberal and scion of a Minnesota liquor fortune, has spent months making the case that Biden is too old and unpopular to win a second term against Trump. Despite facing intense blowback from Democrats—which“I didn’t know who he was until a few weeks ago,” a New Hampshire Democrat with presidential campaign experience told The Daily Beast, requesting anonymity to discuss behind the scenes conversations in party circles.
“I can tell you that a significant number of New Hampshire Democratic activists have been engaged for weeks now on working on a write-in campaign for President Biden,” the operative said. “The vast number of prominent activists are already committing to the write-in campaign.” “I think people just think he started this too late,” a top New Hampshire fundraiser and Democratic organizer said. “It’s really late in the game, and I don’t think anybody is taking it seriously at all. They’re focused on whether Biden will be on the ballot, and we’re focused on the House to try and run up the majority. He’s just a distraction.”last Thursday, it remains unclear what the two talked about.
