1 / 3 represented New York in the U.S. Senate from 1981 to 1999, was at a $2,800-a-head event at the Upper East Side penthouse of short seller Jim Chanos, as was former Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, who served as an undersecretary before being President Donald Trump’s first choice to lead the agency.On Tuesday, Biden attended fundraisers at two law firms. An event at Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison was attended by Conde Nast creative director Anna Wintour.

But at a fundraiser at Weitz and Luxenberg on Tuesday, Biden told potential donors they shouldn’t be complacent about the polls showing him at the head of the Democratic pack."It is true we’re ahead. It is true we feel good about where we’re going," he said. But"there’s a target on my back," and the dynamics of the race could change.“You guys are great, but Wall Street didn’t build America,” Biden told the donors.

Also on hand were Robert Wolf, former head of UBS Group AG’s Americas Unit and founder of the strategy and investment firm 32 Advisors, along with Dennis Mehiel, chief executive of Four M Investments; Michael Kempner, who heads the public-relations firm MWWPR; Jay Snyder, a principal at HBJ Investments; and George Tsunis, the founder of Chartwell Hotels.
