Hollywood mogul Barry Diller is the latest entertainment industry donor to withdraw his support for President Joe Biden following his disgraceful performance at last week’s debate.
Barry Diller answered simply, “No.” Asked The Ankler asked whether he and his wife, Diane von Furstenberg, are still supporting Biden, after the Hollywood boss reportedly donated $6,600 to the Biden campaign in 2023 and $100,000 to the Democratic Party for President joint super PAC in the run up to the general election.
Diller, who previously ran Paramount and 20th Century Fox, is now chairman of IAC, the media company that owns the left-leaning Daily Beast, and is a longtime Democratic donor who supported Hillary Clinton in 2016.
He is the latest Hollywood figure to defect from the Biden campaign.
Among those calling for Biden to resign are Endeavor CEO Ari Emanuel, Netflix co-founder Reed Hastings, lost Creator Damon Lindelof.

A recent CBS News poll showed that 72% of voters think Biden should not run for a second term, up nine points from February.
But Biden said this week that he has no plans to step down and will continue to campaign.
The move raises the possibility of a civil war within the Democratic Party ahead of the party convention in Chicago, with many backing Vice President Kamala Harris or California Governor Gavin Newsom (Democrat) as Biden’s successor.
But both Harris and Newsom have publicly said they still support the 81-year-old president.
