First Lady Jill Biden is set to headline the Biden-Harris campaign's initial European fundraiser for the 2024 cycle. The event is scheduled to take place in Paris on Thursday, July 25th, just ahead of the 2024 Olympics. This move comes amidst mounting pressure on President Joe Biden to step down from the 2024 race.
As a prominent advocate for her husband, the first lady's participation in the Biden Victory Fund fundraiser is seen as a significant show of support. The fundraiser offers attendees the opportunity to contribute between $500 and $25,000, as indicated by the event's promotional material.
Reports of the fundraiser surfaced on Friday, following a plea from 30 Democratic members of Congress urging President Biden to reconsider his candidacy for the upcoming election. Concerns have been raised regarding his fitness for office and his ability to secure victory over former President Donald Trump in a potential general election matchup.
Despite the calls for him to withdraw, President Biden remains resolute in his commitment to the campaign. He expressed his eagerness to resume campaigning next week, indicating that the Biden-Harris campaign has a series of upcoming events planned.
