“Now that he’s thrown his hat back into the ring, the dam has burst and people are super excited and on board,” said Jeffrey Katzenberg, a co-chair of Biden’s campaign. “We’re at the beginning of the beginning. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. And we are in an enviable position in that we’re singularly focused on running and winning in November 2024 and all of our efforts and resources are really focused on that.
The weekend summit marks the first official in-person campaign event for Biden since declaring his candidacy on Tuesday. The campaign is slowly beginning to take shape out of spare office space at the Democratic National Committee before it moves to Wilmington, Delaware, the president's hometown, said a person familiar with the matter who spoke anonymously in order to discuss internal dynamics.
“One of the hallmarks of Joe Biden is that he’s always enjoyed grassroots support and it has always been an essential ingredient ," said Katzenberg."To focus too much attention on the high end and the bundlers would be a mistake.”that are undergirding his campaign, from his accomplishments in office to “MAGA Republicans” who he argues are fighting “to take away women’s right to choose, ban books, and gut Social Security and Medicare,” the campaign said.
