President Biden's exit from the 2024 race cost one of his top advisers the chance to earn a staggering payday. Mike Donilon told a House panel on Thursday that he would have collected a $4 million bonus had Biden won reelection, reports CNN. As it was, Donilon already was earning a $4 million salary for working on the campaign, as was previously reported in the book Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again, by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios.
