Source: ABC

The former vice president will host 53 fundraisers over 14 days.

Joe Biden's campaign has ramped up the pace of his virtual fundraisers and events as "Operation MAGA" kicks into high gear in the final weeks before Election Day. Several upcoming key events will feature Dr. Jill Biden, Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. and Harris's husband, Doug Emhoff.

Upcoming events will also feature former 2020 candidates and their spouses, such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and her husband Bruce Mann, and other notable Democrats, celebrities and supporters.

Biden, the Democratic National Committee and affiliated joint fundraising committees entered the month of September with $466 million in hand. That total was well over $140 million more than President Donald Trump, the Republican National Committee and affiliated joint fundraising committees had at the time.

The flood of events online comes as the former vice president also ramps up his in-person campaigning and travel. Biden held an event in Florida on Monday and will have events in Pennsylvania and Arizona this week.
