Jill Biden will be in Tampa for a reception at Florida Sen. Janet Cruz’s home October 27. Biden had been scheduled to attend a reception last week, but cancelled.
Cruz officially endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination for President last week.
She and her husband, Steve Rifkin, are hosting the fundraising reception.
Supporters are encouraged to donate between $250 and $2,800, the maximum contribution allowable under the law.
The reception will also include former U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, former congressional candidate Eric Lynn and his wife, Tracy Lynn, as well as prominent Tampa Democratic donors Jan and Craig Sher and Cruz’s daughter Ana Cruz.
Biden has long been considered the frontrunner for the Democratic nomination and had been consistently polling well ahead of other candidates including Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. However, some recent polls have shown Warren taking the lead as Biden’s numbers drop.
Last week Biden defended her husband at a New Hampshire event saying, “your candidate might be better on, I don’t know, health care than Joe is, but you’ve got to look at who’s going to win this election.”
That’s been a prominent rallying cry among establishment Democrats leaning on electability for the party’s eventual nominee. It’s not clear what recent events surrounding impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump as well as bombshell allegations in a whistleblower complaint released Thursday that Trump had sought to conceal the transcript of his conversation with the Ukrainian President in July will do to the electability argument.
Democrats have long been split over whether to launch impeachment proceedings, fearing doing so could rile Trump’s base and hurt Democrats in 2020. But as more evidence comes to light in Trump’s potential abuse of executive power, more Democrats are supporting impeachment.
At the rate news is coming out of Washington this week, it’s anyone’s guess what the Democratic race might look like a month from now.

Jill Biden, who after her son died, blessed his widow to remarry her other son in a sick affair of incest.
These people are sick, and we should frown upon them as John the Baptist did when Herod married his own brother’s wife
Lest you remember, Herod then preyed on his own stepdaughter/neice…. Who requested the head of John the Baptist
Watch out, conservatives. The liberals will do anything to have their way.
