Joe Biden just concluded an exciting fundraising blitz, and he had some glowing words for Jeffrey Katzenberg, one of his campaign’s co-chairs. At a fundraiser in New York, Biden expressed, “I have a lot of assets in my campaign, but none more consequential than Jeffrey Katzenberg.” Katzenberg himself was present at the event, as he was for a previous fundraiser in Chicago. Biden has been actively seeking donations in recent weeks, including a trip to San Francisco, as the June 30 deadline for end-of-the-quarter fundraising approaches. All eyes will be on the Biden campaign’s total funds raised, which will reflect the enthusiasm of his donors for his reelection.
Katzenberg, a prominent fundraiser in the Democratic party, has taken on an official role in Biden’s campaign this time around. He stands out as the only non-elected official among the co-chairs announced by the president. Katzenberg has also been providing guidance on messaging, according to Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), who mentioned his focus on connecting with the American people. Despite concerns about Biden’s age in recent polls, Katzenberg has shown unwavering confidence in the campaign’s launch. While the president has yet to visit Los Angeles for a fundraising swing, it is anticipated to happen this summer. During the New York event, Biden reiterated some of his earlier comments from his MSNBC appearance, including his observation that the GOP is “not your father’s Republican party.” He added, “But there’s still a lot of really honorable, decent Republican senators and congressmen.”
