Joe Biden is planning a fundraising swing through New York City next month.
The fundraising blitz comes weeks after the 2020 presidential hopeful schmoozed with donors in Hollywood.
At least two fundraisers are being planned for July 17 and 18, CNBC reported. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has weighed opening his fundraising network to Biden, is expected to be in attendance.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, New York donors gave a combined $617 million to political causes, with an overwhelming majority of the donations going to Democrats. California was the only state that surpassed that amount, with donors contributing $756 million that cycle.
Biden’s campaign said last month it brought in $6.3 million in the first 24 hours of the former vice president’s candidacy. It was a record first-day haul among 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.
The 2020 hopeful is also dominating his Democratic rivals in the polls. According to a RealClearPolitics average of polling data, Biden has almost 40% support, compared to his nearest contender, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who has 16.3% support.
