Joe Biden wrapped up a fundraising blitz on Thursday with some words of praise for Jeffrey Katzenberg, who has an official role on his reelection campaign as one of its co-chairs.
At a fundraiser at the New York event space The Pool, Biden said, according to a pool report, “I have a lot of assets in my campaign, but none more consequential than Jeffrey Katzenberg.”
Katzenberg was present at the event, as he was for a fundraiser in Chicago on Wednesday. In recent weeks, Biden has been making a number of fundraising swings, including a trek to San Francisco last week, with a June 30 end-of-the-quarter deadline approaching. Campaigns must report their fundraising totals to the Federal Election Commission by July 15, so there will be plenty of attention on the Biden campaign total and what it says about donor enthusiasm for his reelection.
Katzenberg, who has long been a top fundraiser in Democratic party politics, has taken an official role in Biden’s campaign this cycle, appearing as the only non-elected official among a list of co-chairs when the president announced that he was running. He’s also been advising the campaign on messaging, Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) told the Chicago Sun-Times, with “just a real focus on what is the message to connect with the American people across the country.” The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that Katzenberg has advised the 80-year-old Biden to “own” his age and embrace it like Harrison Ford and Mick Jagger. Even though Biden’s age remains a major concern among voters in recent polls, Katzenberg has been bullish about Biden’s campaign launch.

met for the first time during the monarch’s reign on Monday, and all eyes were on them.The politician, 80, encountered the 74-year-old sovereign at Windsor Castle, where many people believed that Biden breached protocol.Body language expert Judi James gave some insight into the pair’s gathering on the sweltering July day.When Biden’s car pulled up to the royal residence, Charles came out to welcome him with a handshake.When they both walked together up a few steps, Biden gently placed his hand on Charles. James explained to the US Sun that protocol dictates that one must never touch a member of the royal family unless they extend their hand first.“Biden’s forthcoming touch rituals might not have been offensive but they would have been unusual,” she said. “[He] treated the king as he might a cherished friend that he had not seen for a while.”The handshake the two shared involved “close torso proximity,” and, according to James, “this was performed inside what is known as the intimate zone of friendship.”Sometime later, when the men went to ceremoniously inspect the Guard of Honor, Biden was several paces in front of the sovereign.She went on: “The walking in front protocol is said to be based on hierarchy, meaning no one in the United Kingdom would walk in front of a king or queen.

Ethan Shanfeld In a critical ruling, the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina on Thursday, upsetting a 45-year precedent and putting an end to the systematic consideration of race in college admissions. Ruling that the programs at both schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution, the court voted 6-3 in the UNC case and 6-2 in the Harvard case, in which Justice Ketanji Brown was recused.
