Joe Biden’s cash-strapped presidential campaign is getting a huge boost — powerhouse Democratic fundraiser Jennifer Bayer Michaels is coming on board to head New York fundraising and rake in millions for his super PAC.

Following reports that Biden has been searching for ways to beef up his fundraising strategy amid an onslaught from Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Pete Buttigieg, Page Six has exclusively learned that Michaels will be in charge of fundraising in the New York metropolitan area for the newly-created Biden super PAC.

Michaels is one of the biggest names in Democratic fundraising nationwide. She was the longtime chief fundraiser for Sen. Chuck Schumer, then finance director and senior advisor for Governor Andrew Cuomo as well as a senior fundraiser at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. She also runs her own consulting firm, JBConsulting Strategies.

A Democratic insider said, “This is a huge get for Biden.”

Biden’s super PAC was formally launched in late October to help the former vice president navigate the primary and withstand attacks from President Trump and the RNC. Former Biden campaign aide Larry Rasky is listed as treasurer of the super PAC, titled Unite the Country, according to a filing with the Federal Election Commission.

Rasky had said of the organization, “We intend to fight back against the lies and distortions we’re seeing now from Trump, his allies, the Russians, and the Republican Party …No other Democrat has to fight this two-front war.”

1. Biden is rapidly

becoming the only game in town.

[crazytown]

2. The only game who hit a record low RCP average this week,

yes there is that.

[W_HAMILTON]

4. But his "record low" would be every other candidate's "record high."

[crazytown]

5. I fail to see the humor.

Biden is nowhere near rge support necessary to win a majority of delegates. Rapidly becoming the only game in town?

6. Biden is...

Higher right now than any other candidate has been at any point in the race. He is at a higher level of support than he was after the first debate. He also leads the field in nearly every state poll that is released

This is despite the media constantly saying his campaign is dead, the President and entire republican party attacking his with conspiracy theories daily, and the progressive wing of the party trying to sink his campaign for months.

I'd say he's fairing very well.

On the other hand, Warren has been mildly criticized for a policy position that she came up with, and is just about to fall into third in nation average and has lost her top position in virtually every state poll that previously had her ahead.

8. Biden's literally the only one with numbers right now to win a majority of the delegates.

He's the only candidate that even reaches the delegate threshold in many southern states. Hell, if polling holds, we're going to have states where he takes home 100+ delegates while Buttigieg/Warren/Sanders fight over 2-3.

7. Fight Fire with Better Fire.. I don't care

what negative shite anyone else has to say about this..

Good on Biden!

[oasis]

9. Biden's doing his best to win. He should be commended.

[Cha]

10. And, I do..

Commend Biden! We have a Fighter on our hands.. doing what it takes under the circumstances. They're not going to hold him back.

Biden:

Aloha, oasis!

11. Hey, Joe Biden keeps on keeping on

He's waging a two-front battle and is still on top. Which should speak volumes to his strength and durability. Despite all the obituaries, the calls for him to step aside or give it up, he's still leading the pack and still perceived as the best candidate to wallop Trump in 2020. In addition, he's the most qualified, knowledgable, experienced candidate of the bunch. And that's important because the damage is real and massive and the time allotted for on-the-job training is nonexistent.

Biden was made for this singular moment. Trump knows that. Putin knows that. All the world's tyrants and despots know that and is why they are dead set against his candidacy. Because once Biden is in office the frigging party is:

OVER!

So, I'm glad this mega-fundraiser person is online. Trump has already amassed a $300+ million war chest.

Game on!

And with the gods on our side?

Game over!
