 As part of my participation in the democratic process and in support of my chosen candidate, I have led some of the biggest fundraisers in my party's history. Barack Obama in 2012, Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020. Last month, I co-hosted the single largest fundraiser supporting any democratic candidate ever for President Biden's reelection. I say all of this only to express how much I believe in this process and how profound I think this moment is. I love Joe Biden as a senator, as vice president, and as president. I consider him a friend. I believe in him. Believe in his character. Believe in his morals. But the one battle he cannot win is the fight against time.
