Former President Barack Obama rejoined Joe Biden for the first time in the 2020 election campaign cycle at a virtual fundraiser on Tuesday (June 23,) which brought in a record $11 million.
It was the first time Biden, who is the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, had been joined by his former boss to campaign, although Obama had previously endorsed Biden in April.
"I am here to say that help is on the way if we do the work, because there's nobody that I trust more to be able to heal this country and get it back on track, than my dear friend Joe Biden," said Obama.
We've got to pay attention to what the public health experts say when it comes to this campaign season," Obama said.
Obama’s spokesperson, Katie Hill said that this is the first of many events to come where he will stump for Biden and help raise even more funds.
