President Joe Biden has recently been actively involved in a fundraising push to support Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, as reported by a Biden adviser. Biden has recorded several direct-to-camera videos urging grassroots supporters to donate to the Harris-Walz campaign, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), and the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee (DLCC). Additionally, he has recorded a fundraising video and a robocall in support of Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester's Senate campaign, a close ally from his home state of Delaware.
In the upcoming week, Biden's name will be featured on fundraising e-mails and SMS text messages for various campaigns, including the Harris-Walz campaign, DCCC, DLCC, Democratic Governors Association, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Blunt Rochester’s campaign. This fundraising effort coincides with Biden's limited campaign engagements following his withdrawal from the 2024 race. Since his participation in the Democratic National Convention in August, Biden has made few political appearances, notably campaigning with Harris in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on Labor Day.
Despite his reduced public appearances, Biden has been actively engaging behind the scenes by reaching out to leaders in the labor community. He has been encouraging them to motivate their members to vote for Harris and Democratic candidates in down-ballot races. Biden recently delivered virtual remarks to the leadership teams of the North American Building Trades Unions in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, showcasing his commitment to supporting the Democratic cause.
