Biden says he will rethink fundraiser hosted by fossil fuel company co-founder
Savannah Behrmann and Aamer Madhani, USA TODAY Published 10:04 p.m. ET Sept. 4, 2019 | Updated 11:02 p.m. ET Sept. 4, 2019
WASHINGTON -- Former Vice President Joe Biden and his campaign pushed back against the suggestion at a CNN climate change forum Wednesday that he's breaking a pledge to reject campaign contributions from the fossil fuel industry with his plans to participate in a fundraiser hosted by the co-founder of a Houston-based natural gas producer.
Biden is set to attend a fundraiser in New York Thursday hosted by Andrew Goldman, who helped co-found the company Western LNG.
Goldman, who previously worked a senior adviser to Biden while he served in the Senate, was an original investor in Western LNG, according to the Biden campaign. But Goldman currently works as managing director for New York-based investment firm Hildred Capital Partners.
The issue arose after Biden was questioned at a CNN climate town hall Wednesday by an audience member about Goldman.
