Biden's Quip On Trump's Remarks

On Friday, Biden responded with a witty remark to Trump's recent assertion about not becoming a dictator if re-elected, except "on day one." 

"Thank God, only one day," Biden said during a gathering at the residence of Michael Smith, a notable interior designer, and James Costos, a former HBO executive, according to Reuters. 

The Fundraising Journey

Biden's three-day California trip, a crucial fundraising venture, also included a brief stop in Las Vegas where he announced substantial funding for new passenger rail projects worth $8.2 billion. 

The president's itinerary includes events with prominent figures like Steven Spielberg, Rob Reiner, Barbra Streisand and Lenny Kravitz. These gatherings, along with others planned before the month's end, are expected to raise substantial funds for his campaign.

Economic Initiatives and Public Perception

Amid his fundraising efforts, Biden is also focusing on promoting his administration's economic initiatives, including the infrastructure law, the Chips and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act. Despite these efforts, recent polls suggest a need for further work to bolster public opinion.
