Organizers for a Chicago fundraiser planned during the Democratic National Convention have decided not to proceed with the event. The decision came after a pause in planning discussions following President Joe Biden's debate performance, with concerns over the erosion of support for his candidacy.
The lunch event, aimed at a select group of wealthy individuals in Chicago, was expected to raise less than $1 million for the campaign. However, the disagreement among the host committee members on how to move forward in light of the situation led to the event's cancellation.
