WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden is California-bound as he looks to soak up more cash for his reelection bid with a three-day swing through the state. Biden heads first to Los Angeles on Tuesday, where he will take part in a fundraiser as he tries to fortify his campaign war chest for what is likely to be a costly rematch with former President Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner. Biden’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee say they collected $42 million in contributions during January from 422,000 donors. Biden ended January with $130 million in cash on hand.
