Second gentleman Doug Emhoff is set to take the spotlight at two fundraisers originally planned for first lady Jill Biden next week, as per invitations obtained. The first lady was initially slated to speak at a fundraiser in Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, on Tuesday, featuring a conversation with David Letterman, and another in Yarmouth, Maine, on July 31. However, the invitations now reveal that Emhoff will be the speaker at these events instead.
This change in lineup coincides with the campaign's efforts to reschedule at least three fundraisers that President Joe Biden was supposed to host in California and Colorado over the upcoming weekend. A campaign official informed CNN that the rescheduled events may involve the president or other key figures, although specific details are still being finalized.
