Biden Plans Trip for Campaign Fundraisers
- Biden is set to embark on a fundraising tour
- Logistics and hosts are still being finalized
- Hosts could include hedge fund manager Barry Rosenstein and his wife Lizanne.
Eko Hot Blog reports that President Joe Biden is set to embark on a fundraising tour through the affluent New York seaside communities of the Hamptons later this month.
The details and hosts for what are expected to be two receptions are still being finalized.
According to anonymous sources familiar with the plans, the potential hosts for the events include hedge fund manager Barry Rosenstein and his wife Lizanne, as well as Tampa Bay Buccaneers owner Avram Glazer.
Rosenstein owns an 18-acre beachfront estate in East Hampton, NY, which boasts a mansion, pool, pond, and private gardens. He purchased the property for over $140 million. Federal Election Commission records indicate that the Rosensteins have donated $300,000 to the Biden Victory Fund.
It is unclear whether Avram Glazer, who is the brother of longtime Trump supporter and fellow Bucs owner Edward Glazer, owns property in the Hamptons. This year, Glazer has contributed $750,000 to the Biden Victory Fund.

Neither Rosenstein nor a spokesperson for the Buccaneers responded to requests for comment, and a spokesperson for the Biden campaign also did not respond to a request for comment.
Funds raised from these events will benefit the Biden Victory Fund, a joint fundraising effort for the Biden campaign, the Democratic National Committee, and more than a dozen state parties, according to a source.
The Hamptons fundraisers will be Biden’s first campaign visit of the year to this political hotspot.
On June 15, Biden is slated to attend a fundraiser in Los Angeles featuring former President Barack Obama, Hollywood stars George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel. Ticket prices range from $250 to $500,000, according to the invitation.
Biden recently attended a fundraiser on June 3 in Greenwich, Connecticut, reportedly hosted at the home of Lisa and Richard Plepler.
Meanwhile, Biden’s likely opponent, former President Donald Trump, has been on his own fundraising spree.
