Hillary Clinton expected to grow her role backing Joe Biden's reelection efforts after hosting $1 million fundraiser at her Georgetown home
2023-12-10
Halloween is over.
The witch is back.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Hillary Clinton held a fundraiser for Joe Biden at her Georgetown estate as the failed 2016 Democratic candidate plans to step-up her role in getting the president reelected in 2024.

Members of the Women's Leadership Forum gathered at Clinton's stately home in Washington, D.C. on November 27, according to a new NBC News report, and raised nearly $1 million for Biden's reelection campaign.

Over the next year, Clinton's role is expected to grow and former President Barack Obama is expected to jump in later in the campaign.

Clinton and Biden haven't always had the most close relationship.

In 2016, Clinton pushed the outgoing vice president of running for president. After she failed to beat Donald Trump and Biden was successful in 2020, it took her until September this year to visit him at the White House.

But Biden needs allies in the Democratic party as his age and fitness for office continues to raise concerns – and some voters are looking for alternatives in 2024.

'At the end of the day, Biden needs all the help that he can get,' a Democratic strategist told NBC. 'What he needs is both the spirit and the actual reality of unity.'

Former President Bill and former first lady Hillary Clinton purchased the Georgetown estate, named Whitehaven, in 2000.

The last Monday of November, Clinton hosted the fundraiser to help boost Biden's campaign.

Her reemergence as a Biden ally shows a larger effort to deploy high-profile allies to Biden's reelection fight, two people familiar with the campaign said.

Obama has appeared in some fundraising videos for Biden, but Democrats want a more visible role from the former president to give Biden a much-needed boost.

Over the next year, Clinton's role will only grow in order to help fill the void left by Obama before he finally jumps head-first into the 2024 election.

While Hillary Clinton was raising money for Biden in November, her husband was serving as Biden's surrogate during a lunch with Argentina's President-elect, Javier Milei, and former Sen. Chris Dodd, the president's special adviser for the Americas.

#3  I wonder if Hillery suspects Joe may have information that could lead to her arrest, conviction, and jailing?
