Hillary Clinton will headline 3 DNC fundraisers

[RandySF]

(CNN) Hillary Clinton will headline three fundraisers for the Democratic National Committee in the coming months, in San Francisco, Chicago and New York, three Democratic sources tell CNN.

The fundraisers, despite likely being closed to the press, will amount to the most public political step Clinton has taken since ending her tour promoting her 2017 memoir, "What Happened," about the 2016 presidential election. While she has remained active on Twitter and her political organization has donated to a host of Democratic House candidates, she has yet to headline a public event for a 2018 candidate.

The events, billed as "intimate dinners with discussion" with the former Democratic presidential nominee, were first reported by NBC News.

Clinton's events are expected to boost a DNC that has struggled with fundraising ahead of the midterm elections. While the Republican National Committee has brought in well over $227 million, including $14.2 million in July, Democrats have raised $117 million total, including $7.1 million in July, per a party official.

President Barack Obama also looked to help the DNC with fundraising when he headlined a California event in June.

It would be even better if she was raising money for reelection but I'll take what comes I guess.

p.s.

4. Hillary's a Team Playa.. not just in it

for herself. She knows how important our Democracy is and what it will take to get it back since it was taken from us.

6. Yep. Barack too it seems.

And I bet Bill would be shaking the money tree too if he was up to it. Who knows, he might step in if things get tight. They are all three super troupers and won't let the ship go down while they've still got breath in their lungs.

7. Oh Yeah! Barack and Michelle.. they're

all some determined patriots!

5. Hillary's presence should provide a giant boost in morale.

9. Howard told me about his joint effort with Hillary last October

As always, Howard always follows through on his word. He said that he and Hillary were getting behind [a number of] movements dedicated to recruit new young faces to run for office as Democrats. It's more than one, but I will leave the Republican trolls guessing as to how many. Put it this way, the Russo-Republicans will be spreading their resources thin if they want to attack all of them. Слишком поздно, там, товарищи.

10. Is the press allowed?

I hope she raises a boatload of cash for our party.

In many areas of the country, we lack the funds for advertising, especially on the local level. I'd like her and Obama to raise massive amounts of dinero so we can inundate the media in these areas.

16. Hillary Clinton is well known by the press. It's not

like she's a newcomer on the political scene or anything like that....

Is a fund raiser just like a public townhall for constituents? I'm also glad Hillary Clinton is helping raise money for Democrats. Not everyone has access to foreign money like the GOP and other unaccounted for dark money groups.

11. Glad to hear it. She's a dynamo! (Just the other day someone was saying she's "history"...

Glad to hear it. She's a dynamo! (Just the other day someone was saying she's "history" ... looks like that person was wrong!)

12. She's a real trooper

Anyone who can bounce up to help out after what she's been through has my admiration for sure. In fact, I don't know that anyone has ever been through the hell she has been since November of 2016. I hope that when the next President is elected Hillary can once again serve us in some capacity.
