MCCLEAN, Virginia (Reuters) – U.S. President Joe Biden raised about $8.1 million in help of his White Home bid at a fundraiser in Virginia on Tuesday with former President Invoice Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

The occasion was held on the residence of former Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.

“There isn’t anything more important to any of us than making sure Joe Biden is re-elected,” Hillary Clinton mentioned on on the occasion, including Biden’s priorities for a second time period embrace bolstering reproductive rights and reducing prices for Individuals.

She known as Biden’s Republican rival Donald Trump a “clear and present danger to our country and the world.”

Biden’s fundraiser comes simply after one other high-profile and star-studded money haul in California final weekend, when the president appeared on stage with former President Barack Obama.

That occasion, which was attended by Hollywood stars George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Barbra Streisand, raised greater than $30 million.

Current polls have proven Biden and Trump nearly tied in Virginia forward of November’s matchup.
