Politico: The not so shadow campaign
If there were any remaining doubts about President JOE BIDEN running for a second term, the president’s upcoming travel plans should lay them to rest.
He’s running, people. And some Democrats view Biden’s pre-State of the Union address calendar, which is starting to take shape, as the soft launch for it. His aides don’t even dispute that.
Biden will appear at a fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee in New York City next Tuesday, according to three people familiar with the event. On Friday, he’ll deliver a speech at the DNC’s two-day gathering in Philadelphia, as will Vice President KAMALA HARRIS, and both will attend another DNC fundraiser there, according to three people familiar with that event.
These activities, a top political aide to the president allowed, are “indeed the typical actions of a president preparing to run for reelection.”

I can confirm the NYC fundraiser.
