NEW YORK — Ahead of a potential Democratic presidential run, former Mayor Michael R.

Steve Ricchetti, one of Joe Biden’s closest confidantes, is reaching out to wary donors to shore up support. The Biden presidential campaign is watching costs — some staff members are sleeping at homes of volunteers — and facing criticism for spending on chartered jets. Biden’s team is also urging allies to redouble fundraising efforts before the calendar turns to 2020 and he has fewer days to devote to the money trail.
Joe Biden’s campaign effectively dropped its long-standing opposition to receiving the assistance of super PACs on Thursday, opening the door for wealthy supporters to spend an unlimited amount of money to try to lift him in the Democratic primary.
The nonpartisan commission that governs presidential debates announced Friday the dates and sites for the three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate during the 2020 general election.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who has risen in the Democratic presidential primary on her pledge to forgo traditional big-money fundraisers, said this week that if she became the nominee she would continue to skip such events, a reversal of what her position has been throughout 2019.
Sen. Bernie Sanders has produced the biggest fundraising quarter of the Democratic primary, as his campaign announced Tuesday that he had taken in $25.3 million over the last three months.

Instead, their campaigns nudged payday into July, an accounting maneuver that obscured payroll costs and temporarily made it look like candidates had more cash on hand than they actually did.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York accused some of her fellow Democratic candidates for president of not supporting women who work outside the home Thursday, her most pointed attempt yet to frame her struggling candidacy as the best option for female voters.

SAN FRANCISCO — Sen. Bernie Sanders has long promised to run a different kind of campaign and be a different kind of president. On Saturday night, what was billed as his first “grassroots fundraiser” of the 2020 campaign was certainly different, as donor events go.
DUBUQUE, Iowa — As Joe Biden made his way across Iowa on his first trip as a 2020 presidential candidate, the former vice president repeatedly returned to one term — aberration — when he referred to the Trump presidency.
