Biden seeks campaign cash in California

[left-of-center2012]

Joe Biden is headed to California later this month for a trio of high-dollar fundraisers, seeking to solidify his status as the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination with a strong second-quarter haul.

An invite obtained by The Hill shows that Biden will first be honored on June 28 at a fundraiser in Belvedere, Calif., hosted by Leni and Marriner Eccles, longtime Democratic National Committee fundraisers.

That same evening, he will attend another fundraiser at the home of Dawn Ross and Doug Hickey, a bundler for former President Obama who owns a beverage distribution company, and the following day he will be the guest of honor at former Twitter executive Katie Jacobs Stanton’s home.

Major Democratic donors and fundraisers expect Biden — who is spending time in New York this week to attend fundraisers — to raise at least $20 million, with some putting expectations at $25 million.

While Biden entered the race to questions about his fundraising ability, he has met or exceeded expectations so far.
