President Joe Biden is staking his reelection bid on the political and financial muscle of the Democratic National Committee. As it prepares for a bruising 2024 contest, his campaign plans to raise and spend around $2 billion. But it will do so in coordination with the national and state Democratic parties in an effort to establish a coordinated campaign around the country. The idea is to bolster field, volunteer and data organizations, and ensure they work jointly and simultaneously to promote Biden and down-ballot Democratic candidates. It's a break from the last Democratic president, Barack Obama, who formed his own fundraising operation after the 2008 campaign, outside his party's national apparatus.
