Biden Attends DNC Fundraiser, Obama to Arrive on Friday for Similar Event

Vice President Joe Biden will be in San Francisco this evening for a Democratic fundraising event, three days before President Barack Obama will be in town for the same purpose.

Biden is scheduled to attend a 7 p.m. event at an undisclosed residence in San Francisco to raise money for the Democratic National Committee.

The vice president was in Los Angeles this morning and also has a stop at California State University, Bakersfield planned this afternoon before coming to San Francisco, according to a schedule provided by the White House.

Obama is then coming to the city for a DNC event on Friday at the W Hotel.

The event, with musical guest Maxwell, has tickets that start at $500, according to an invitation on the DNC’s website at https://finance.democrats.org/page/contribute/SFReceptionOct10?custom1=100152204.

Obama was most recently in the Bay Area in July, also to raise money for fellow Democrats.
