Lindy Li, a former Democratic National Committee fundraiser who later left the Democratic Party, says her upcoming book will identify individuals she believes were aware of concerns surrounding former President Joe Biden’s cognitive condition during the 2024 election cycle but did not publicly acknowledge them, as reported by Fox News.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, Li discussed her forthcoming book, Unburdened, which is scheduled for release later this year.

Li said the book will detail internal discussions within Democratic circles, polling data, and concerns she says were present long before Biden ultimately ended his 2024 reelection campaign.

“Whatever was out there, it wasn’t the truth. They wanted him to go, and also in my book, I will be telling people exactly who was aware of Biden’s cognitive decline but pretended otherwise,” Li told Fox News Digital during a phone interview.

Li, who previously worked as a fundraiser connected to a wide range of Democratic Party figures, said she was surprised by the number of prominent Democrats who privately expressed concerns about Biden while continuing to defend him publicly.

Among those she referenced was Senator Adam Schiff of California.

“I remember getting a text from Schiff,” Li said, referring to Adam Schiff, then a Democratic candidate for Senate and a leading House Democrat.

“I have it in my book. Basically, Adam Schiff was — I can’t remember what he said on TV, but I’m telling you right now that behind the scenes he very much wanted [Biden] to go.”

A spokesperson for Schiff disputed the significance of the claim, pointing out that the senator’s concerns became public after Biden’s performance during a 2024 debate.

The spokesperson noted that Schiff later publicly called on Biden to step aside in July 2024.

“The Senator’s concerns and call on President Biden to not run was very public, so none of this is news,” the spokesperson said.

Li argued that concerns about Biden extended beyond Schiff and involved other party figures who were reluctant to challenge the president publicly.

“They didn’t want to get ostracized by the party. It’s like the axiom: you come at the king; you better not miss. Everyone would have missed,” Li said.

According to Li, internal polling reinforced the belief that Biden remained difficult to challenge despite concerns about his condition.

“There are many candidates who polled themselves against Biden and then realized that they couldn’t beat him in a primary. It wasn’t a matter so much of anti-Trumpism. It was self-interest,” Li said.

“I’ve seen the polling data, and I also include that in my book — polling no one has seen before.”

Li also claimed internal polling showed Vice President Kamala Harris was not viewed as the strongest potential successor within Democratic circles before Biden exited the race.

“She was the weakest candidate in the field,” Li said.

“I also have polling data right before Kamala ascended. We stacked her against Buttigieg, Newsom, Shapiro, Whitmer — all of them,” Li said, referring to several prominent Democratic figures.

Beyond political calculations, Li said she believes Biden’s longstanding relationships within the party created a level of personal loyalty that made public criticism difficult for many allies.

“He had decades of loyalty — his bond with people like James Clyburn,” Li explained, referring to one of Biden’s longtime supporters and allies.

“There’s something about Joe Biden. He was incredibly kind,” Li said.

Li also told Fox News Digital that she believes the Democratic Party has struggled since the 2024 election and described the organization as being in “shambles” and “completely rudderless” following its electoral defeat.

Her book is expected to provide additional details about internal Democratic Party discussions, polling, and strategy decisions surrounding Biden’s reelection campaign and the events leading up to his withdrawal from the 2024 race.
