Biden to huddle with top donors as 2024 effort kicks off
"President Biden and vice president Kamala Harris are laying the groundwork for their reelection campaign with donors. I'm Ben Thomas with the latest. The president and vice president were hosting about 150 of the Democratic Party's top donors for dinner Friday evening and a weekend strategy session, the event itself is not a fundraiser, and it's not clear how many attendees have cut checks at this point, but these are the high dollar donors and fundraisers who will tap their networks to help fund Biden's campaign over the next 18 months.

The weekend summit marks the first official in person campaign event for Biden since he declared his candidacy. Ben Thomas, Washington

So the people who are working in some cases working multiple jobs and still living at or below a poverty line. We've got to address that group. And it also means we've got to focus on entrepreneurship. Teaching our children through our education system, how not just to be employees, but to be employers, making sure we're focusing on an ownership society where we're increasing liquidity for our small businesses and specifically for our minority owned businesses are women owned businesses are veteran owned businesses because if you can increase liquidity to our entrepreneurs, if you can create access to capital to our entrepreneurs and that means supporting things like our black owned banks and our MDIs and we're not deposits institutions are CDFIs.

And part of the biggest challenge we have of it, it's not even a piercing pain anymore for many people in Baltimore and around the state. It's more of a chronic pain, like people are so used to it.
