Biden’s Cabinet Moonlights for the Campaign

“President Biden is dispatching his Cabinet members to help him sell his three signature legislative accomplishments in swing states. He’s also quietly deploying some of them to raise money and attend political events across the country,” Axios reports.

“By day, they tout the president’s agenda. By night, they help collect checks on his behalf.”

“The moonlighting secretaries — Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo are particularly active — give donors what many desperately crave: An inside view of how Biden’s team plans to prevent Donald Trump from returning to the White House.”

“It’s one of the advantages of incumbency as Biden tries to harness the prestige and power of the presidency to make his case for a second term — and fund that effort.”
