Joe the salesman:

The report goes into extraordinary detail about how Joe Biden hosted donors at the White House and got huge donations afterward. For example, shortly before Christmas last year, four billionaire Democratic donors visited the White House to meet with Biden privately. During this private session, Biden discussed his second-term agenda and answered questions about his campaign and policies. The day after the meeting, tech entrepreneur Mark Pincus donated the maximum allowed amount of $929,600 to Biden's fundraising committee, the Biden Victory Fund. Within three weeks, venture capitalist Reid Hoffman contributed $923,000. Former Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson donated nearly half a million dollars two days before the meeting. According to the report, this gathering was one of about a dozen similar sessions held at the White House from last summer through March, involving small groups of longtime Democratic donors. Many of these meetings included President Biden. Following these meetings, attendees frequently made significant contributions to the Biden Victory Fund. Politico's analysis found that over half of the 50 largest donations to the fund by the end of March came from individuals who had attended these White House gatherings.
