Biden, Harris meet top donors to raise funds for 2024 election campaign

US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris over the weekend met his top 150 donors, including one Indian-American entrepreneur, to develop a successful strategy to raise funds for their 2024 re-election campaign, participants of the meeting said. During the event, Biden highlighted the importance of donors and their contribution to preserving democracy, while lambasting former president Donald Trump-led "MAGA Republicans" and emphasising abortion rights. Although the reception was not a fundraiser, it marked a new effort to bring in untapped donors into the fold, participants of the meeting said. Leading Indian-American fundraiser, Ajay Jain Bhutoria, who is the Democratic Party deputy national finance chair, was among the 150 major Democratic donors to attend the meeting in Washington DC. It is understood that the campaign has set a target of raising USD 2 billion for the 2024 re-election campaign. The event marked the first in-person donor conference of Biden's 2024

Kamala Harris faces new test of political skills in US poll 2024 campaign

She swaggered, she jabbed, she inspired. She even joked. Anyone looking for a glimpse of what Vice President Kamala Harris could bring to the campaign trail would have found it this week at Howard University, where she headlined a rally for reproductive rights. After two years of tightly scripted, uneven performances that often dismayed Democrats and cheered Republicans, Harris is looser, more forceful and more willing to speak off the cuff following her trip to Africa a month ago. That is the vice president that America is going to get a chance to get to know for the first time, said Laphonza Butler, a former adviser to Harris who leads EMILY's List. Now Harris, the first woman and person of color in her position, will be put to the test as President Joe Biden seeks a second term. Although vice presidents are rarely decisive in reelection efforts, Harris is poised to be an exception. Not only is she leading the charge on Democrats' most potent issue, the battle over abortion righ

Biden to huddle with donors next week as prez poll 2024 launch nears

President Joe Biden is summoning top Democratic donors to Washington next week as he prepares to launch his 2024 reelection bid, according to two people familiar with the matter. The event, which is being organised by the Democratic National Committee, is not a fundraiser, but is meant to energise the top party donors for Biden's campaign, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly. Biden is expected to meet for dinner with the assembled donors, who are also set to hear from some of his top political advisers. Biden has repeatedly said he intends to run for reelection, but aides say he feels little pressure to formally launch a campaign, especially since he's warded off any serious challenge from within his party for the nomination.

Donald Trump opens 2024 run, says he's 'more committed' than ever

Former President Donald Trump kicked off his 2024 White House bid with a stop Saturday in New Hampshire before heading to South Carolina, appearances in early-voting states marking the first campaign events since announcing his latest run more than two months ago. We're starting. We're starting right here as a candidate for president," he told party leaders at the New Hampshire GOP's annual meeting before a late afternoon stop in Columbia to introduce his South Carolina leadership team. I'm more angry now and I'm more committed now than I ever was. Those states hold two of the party's first three nominating contests, giving them enormous power in selecting the nominee.
