Barack Obama and Bill Clinton to raise $25 million with Biden amid concerns about his age
-
Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, now 77 and 62, will appear at a fundraiser for 81-year-old President Biden to help his re-election campaign amid concerns about his age.
-
The event is expected to raise over $25 million, making it the most successful political fundraiser in history.
-
Biden has used some of the same tactics as older candidates like Bob Dole and John McCain when they ran against much younger opponents.
-
Clinton and Obama are likely to participate in unconventional campaign tactics to reach younger voters beyond traditional campaigning.
-
The fundraiser comes as Biden increasingly uses the word "future" in speeches about second-term policy goals like tax reform and universal pre-K.
