Joe Biden plans to allow media access to all of his fundraising events — a show of transparency designed to address the Democratic base’s increasing discomfort with the role of big-money donors
Joe Biden plans to allow media access to all of his fundraising events, a show of transparency designed to address the Democratic base’s increasing discomfort with the role of big-money donors in politics.
But Biden’s prepared remarks and his answers in any question and answer session with those donors will be made public in the pool reports. And the access will at least provide some level of visibility into what’s happening in the room and who’s attending the fundraisers.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren took the most comprehensive position by declaring she will no longer even meet privately with big-dollar donors, much less hold closed-door events available only to an elite group.
Biden’s campaign announced last week that he raised $6.3 million on his first day as an announced candidate, ranking him first in the crowded Democratic primary in terms of first-day fundraising totals and erasing doubts that he might not be able to compete in the new era of small-dollar-donor-fueled campaigns.
