US President Joe Biden is ramping up his 2024 re-election efforts this week, hosting four fundraisers in the San Francisco area and laying the strategic groundwork for the election.
In the second half of June, the campaign will have more than 20 fundraising events with the presence of the Head of State and Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a source linked to Biden’s plans, quoted by the Associated Press (AP) agency. .
The Democrat will also travel to New York, Maryland and Illinois.
Biden addressed his campaign issues at a fundraiser this Friday in Connecticut, noting that his goal is to do more to convey to voters the work his administration has done on infrastructure, production of computer ‘chips’ and software to address climate change, among others. other policies.
“We have done a lot. We just need to let people know what we’ve done and be up front with them,” Biden stressed Friday.
The fundraising round follows Biden’s first campaign rally on Saturday in Philadelphia, where he received endorsements from major unions, before a key constituency in the largest population center of a critical battleground state.
The US head of state’s busy schedule comes before the end of the fundraising quarter at the end of the month, and Biden’s July campaign finance report, which will provide the first test of the enthusiasm of Democratic donors in this re-election effort.
Biden, unlike Trump and other 2024 Republican candidates, has not given any hints about his fundraising since declaring his candidacy in April.
By the way, his campaign launch was timed to avoid filing a campaign finance report for the first quarter, a historically difficult period for fundraising.
For the first time in a US election, Biden has entered into joint fundraising deals with all 50 state Democratic parties and the Washington DC branch, an arrangement that could help maximize donations and minimize spending in the early months of the campaign
This strategy is part of a broader effort to unite a diverse Democratic coalition supporting Biden as Republicans navigate what could be a large and divided primary.
