Biden Hosts First Fundraising Event for Future Presidential Library

President Joe Biden will hold his first fundraising event for his future presidential library this month. The event is a holiday reception in Washington, D.C., for potential donors. Plans for the library have developed slowly since Biden took office. These institutions document a president's legacy and require extensive private fundraising. The reception marks the initial public step in building financial support for the project. It follows the traditional model where former presidents raise private money to establish their official libraries.
