Obama and Biden reunite on campaign trail, raise over $11M in grassroots fundraiser

Source: ABC News

Joe Biden and Barack Obama reunited for the first time in the 2020 election cycle for a grassroots fundraiser Tuesday evening that raised more than $11 million according to the campaign -- the best fundraising event for the former vice president so far.

More than 175,000 grassroots donors raised $7.6 million for the event -- a total alone that topped the $6 million brought in by a fundraiser with Sen. Elizabeth Warren last week, previously their best event of the 2020 cycle.

The event was the first fundraising effort by Obama, who praised his former second-in-command as the man for the job he once held.

"I am here to say that help is on the way if we do the work, because there's nobody that I trust more to be able to heal this country and get it back on track, than my dear friend Joe Biden," Obama said.

I was able to watch it (as a contributor), it was awkward at times because of the "virtual" nature of it, but overall it was a great event.

Even if it was a snooze fest (it wasn't), it still brought in $11 MILLION.

Great to see those two "together" again.
