Joe Biden’s Cash-Strapped Campaign Turns to $2,800-a-Head Virtual Fundraisers
« on: April 07, 2020, 01:38:59 pm »


Haris Alic 6 Apr 2020

The Coronavirus may have put the Democratic primary on hold, but former Vice President Joe Biden is exploring efforts to continue fundraising for his cash-strapped campaign.

Biden’s campaign, which only had $12 million in the bank as of the most recent Federal Election Commission (FEC) deadline, will host a series of virtual fundraisers over the month of April. The most high-profile of these will be a “virtual fireside chat” with the former vice president on April 16. That event,  hosted by the Silicon Valley venture capitalist Jed Katz, will cost donors $2,800-a-head to attend. The former vice president’s wife, daughter, and a top foreign policy adviser are also scheduled to host online fundraisers in the coming week for the campaign.

The decision to transition to virtual fundraising comes as the 77-year-old Biden has been in isolation to limit his chance of being infected by the Coronavirus. As of mid-March, the former vice president has not made a single public appearance in-person, opting instead to conduct media interviews from the basement of his Delaware home. Biden’s decision to retreat from the trail has created a problem for his campaign, which was only just beginning to ramp up its fundraising operation before the pandemic’s outbreak.

I find it interesting that Bernie, who still is in the race, hasn't been seen in recent weeks, but Joe is popping up here and there to babble incoherently. Maybe Joe's cash-strapped because he's already paid off the commie.

He's got Bloomberg for his sugar daddy.

I was being sarcastic. No way in HELL is Bubbette! going to give a dime to anybody that stands between her and the White House.

Are you kidding.  By summer, Zuckenberg, Gates, Bezos, Buffett, and all the left leaning Big Money will have Slow Joe in high gear.

That's a more powerful list than what the Clintons had:

Folks, I'm dumb, but bear with me...

I don't get it.
One ponies up a big donation at a fundraiser to have dinner with, and be introduced to, a politician. Maybe even get their picture taken with him. OK, that makes sense.

But... a "virtual" fundraiser?
What's that supposed to mean?
How is that supposed to provide the smaltzing and gratification one receives from a politician in return for handing him a check...?

I could be wrong, but I don't see many donors signing onto this...
