Joe Biden aides meet Bay Area financiers while he takes heat for skipping California Democrats' convention

Biden's decision to miss the California convention is the latest indication he's trying to approach the White House race differently from his rivals in the field. While other candidates were speaking to fellow Democrats in a state that solidly supports Democratic candidates, Biden, who has a wide lead in polls of Democratic voters, was in a state President Donald Trump won by eight percentage points in 2016 after President Barack Obama won it in 2008 and 2012.

At the private gathering Sunday, Biden's advisors and the financiers agreed to hold at least three fundraisers in the Bay Area, according to attendees who described the details of the event on the condition of anonymity. The events, which will feature Biden himself as the marquee guest, will all be at the homes of established Biden supporters. There was also talk that Biden's wife, Jill, would be a featured guest at one of the events.

Meanwhile, other Democrats running for president appeared to take veiled jabs at Biden's decision to bypass the convention.

Guess he forgot of all the bases with war planes and missal launchers they have built in the South China Sea,the gateway to the world's commerce?

Biden faces stiff criticism from Democrats for skipping California conventionJoe Biden was the only top tier White House hopeful to take a pass on the convention that draws some of state's most active Democrat supporters. That shouldn’t be the only thing he faces stiff criticism for. He has an abysmal voting record, the ‘94 crime bill & NAFTA for starters He’s the LEAST progressive of the bunch. He’s a establishment corporate centrist.
