VP Contender Elizabeth Warren Raises Millions for Biden’s Campaign Despite Demonizing Big Fundraisers
Hannah Bleau 10 Aug 2020
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Joe Biden’s (D) former progressive challenger who remains in the running for vice president, has hauled in millions of dollars for her former political challenger, despite previously dismissing him as part of the status quo and warning voters that nominating him would pose a “big risk†for the Democrat Party.
Warren, who blasted Biden as someone who will “not meet this moment,†has raised the most for the former vice president of any of her counterparts, boasting $7.7 million to date and raising $6 million at a June fundraiser alone.
According to Politico, Warren has also assisted Biden by sending out emails to her small-donor list. Yet, during the presidential primary, Warren blasted high-dollar fundraisers, constantly touting the power of her small, grassroots movement and taking aim at her competitors — like former Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) — for courting big donors, as she also had done in past campaigns. In 2018, Warren held a winery fundraiser in 2018 with perks for big donors — the very type of political hobnobbing she demonized throughout her own campaign.
Despite that, she is pulling heavy weight for Biden, who has largely remained out of the public eye, residing in the confines of his basement. She and Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) are expected to hold another fundraising event for Biden on Tuesday. Tickets range from $250 to $25,000, according to Politico.
