Clinton, Obama, Biden Planning to Team Up for Unprecedented Effort in Bid...

With a hoped-for dash of Taylor Swift on the side, President Joe Biden's campaign is looking for a new way to give his campaign some life and some cash by piggybacking on some big names in Democratic circles.

The campaign is working to have former Democratic Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama join Biden at a spring fundraiser, according to NBC News, which cited the four people familiar with the discussions as its source.

The event, still in the discussion stage, would take place in March or April.

The report said the idea "underscores the belief among Biden allies that the party needs an all-hands-on-deck approach to help him win a second term" in November, when he is likely to face GOP front-runner and former President Donald Trump.

"There is real focus and urgency around making sure we beat Trump," a Biden adviser said. "Everyone is all in. And this kind of event early on is just the latest demonstration of that."

The event is designed not only to get cash for the campaign but also to link Biden to two former presidents who are more popular than he is.

The Biden campaign also could launch a massive ad campaign beginning in March, roughly timed to the president's State of the Union address.

And then there is Taylor Swift.

The pop star endorsed Biden in 2020, and his campaign is salivating over how much money could be raised if she made an appeal, according to The New York Times.
