Joe Biden is enlisting his old boss Barack Obama, the Democratic Party’s all-time biggest fundraiser, to convince grassroots donors to open their wallets.

Obama will headline a virtual fundraiser on June 23 for his former vice president, with the price of admission set at just $15. The former president raised a record $745 million for his campaign committee in 2008.
