Obama to Headline Fundraiser with Jeffries in New York

“Former President Barack Obama will headline a fundraiser for House Democrats on Sept. 10 in New York with Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader, as Democrats try to restock their political war chest before the final sprint to the fall midterm elections,” the New York Times reports.

“Mr. Obama is set to attend a reception and dinner, with proceeds going to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.”

“The dinner is set for the second night of Republicans’ unusual two-day midterm convention in Dallas, which President Trump pushed for as an effort to mobilize his party’s voters.”
