President Biden plans two-day Bay Area visit for campaign fundraisers
President Joe Biden will return to the Bay Area for two campaign fundraisers this week.
Biden is expected to arrive in San Francisco on Thursday, according to a White House news release. On Friday, the president will attend two fundraisers in unspecified locations; Bloomberg News reported that former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer and venture capitalist Vinod Khosla would be among the Democratic donors attending.
Tickets for these fundraisers are expected to go for up to $250,000, Bloomberg News reported. The Almanac reported that one of the fundraisers would be at the Portola Valley home of Khosla.
Earlier this year, Biden came to the Bay Area for a two-day visit in February to meet with donors in San Francisco. He also came to the region in November for the Asian-Pacific Economic Cooperation conference, and held a private summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at Filoli, the largest estate in San Mateo County.
