Biden to headline DNC fundraiser Monday

Politico

President Joe Biden will headline a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee on Monday, according to an invitation obtained by POLITICO. And, like the last one, the event won’t be in person.

“Let’s build that bank to fuel the Democratic campaigns of 2022,” Ajay Bhutoria, national finance committee at the DNC, wrote in the invitation.

Ticket prices for Monday’s event are $100,000, $50,000 and $36,500.

Biden spoke virtually at his first DNC fundraiser as president late last month as Democrats began ramping up efforts to build their war chest for the 2022 midterm elections. Losing control of either the Senate or House in 2022 would be a blow to the president’s agenda, though historically the party in power does suffer losses during the midterms.

“The DNC is going to need you, because here’s the deal: We won in 2020 as a unified party, and we need to stay unified and keep doing the big consequential things,” Biden said at the June 28 event. “If we make the right decisions in the next four years, in 50 years, people will look back and say this was the moment that America won the future. But we can’t do it without you.”
