Former US Presidential candidate, Hilary Clinton has shown how much she supports Joe Biden’s re-election, after hosting members of the Women’s Leadership Forum who raised approximately $1 million for President Joe Biden’s re-election effort.
Hilary has been one of Biden’s most prominent supporters. Clinton is popular with women and key parts of the Democratic base and remains a fundraising draw who can help ensure Biden has the money for his campaigns.
In 2016, Hilary won Biden in the primaries and the duo have not been close but the President needs allies. His stance on the Israel-Hamas war has divided the democratic party.
“At the end of the day, Biden needs all the help that he can get,” a Democratic strategist said, speaking on condition of anonymity. “What he needs is both the spirit and the actual reality of unity.”
As the 2024 elections edge closer, Clinton’s role is expected to increase. Former President Barrack Obama is also expected to join later.
“I don’t know of a couple that could be any more helpful to President Biden than the Clintons,” said Tom Daschle, a former Senate Democratic leader. “They have an enormous level of support and admiration within the Democratic Party.”
“You’ve had politicians over the years say that every election is the most important election in our lifetimes,” Daschle continued.
“This is literally the most important election in all of American history. The stakes have never been this high. Everyone feels the need to do their part to ensure that we get through the next 14 months.”
“She is the proof point of what can happen if you throw away your vote on someone other than President Biden because you’re mad at one little thing,” said a longtime Democratic strategist, speaking on condition of anonymity to talk more freely. “That happened to her.”
