"The Vice President and Dr. Biden are the heart and soul of the foundation and now will be devoting all their time and effort to the presidential campaign," Ted Kaufman, chairman of the Biden Foundation's board, said in a statement Thursday."We are immediately suspending foundation activities. In the coming days, the board will put together a plan for an orderly wind-down of all of the foundation's work.

Since its founding, the Biden Foundation has served as a means by which the former vice president and his wife could remain engaged in causes they worked on while in the Obama White House, such as expanding college affordability, broadening employment opportunities for military spouses, and combatting violence against women. In its first year, the foundation reported raising $6.6 million. Fundraising figures for 2018 had yet to be released on Thursday.

burcham_don Unlike trump &co? Shocking. Biden knows how it’s fone. Trump hasn’t divested yet!

MaryMcDonnell10 I'm a bit worried at the big numbers of Democrats who start their presidential campaign. While they will all spend months fighting with each other, Trump will have no opponent. I'm really afraid he will be reelected. I hope I'm wrong, it would be a disaster.

I'm old enough to remember...

Congress must immediately subpoena all income tax filings, employees of the foundation, government employees, FBI, Russians and other contacts as there is may be fraud, lying, theft, touching, false declarations etc. UncleJoe Biden2020 Biden Potus Politics
