The short version
President Joe Biden regularly meets with wealthy individuals in private homes across the United States, where they donate large sums to his election campaign. Participation can be expensive, with prices up to one million Norwegian kroner. The money spent on presidential elections is increasing. In 2020, around NOK 60 billion was spent, and it is expected that this record will be broken in the 2024 election. Although Biden is good at collecting money, the majority of the gifts come from a few donors. That makes Democrats nervous, as the number of donors is considered a gauge of enthusiasm.
The summary is created with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) and quality assured by Aftenposten’s journalists.
