President Clinton is coming to New York this month to make his first pitch for campaign megabucks that could help elect wife Hillary to the U.S. Senate.
Clinton will be in the Big Apple on June 28 for a cash-bash to boost Democratic Senate and House candidates in 2000 – the target is at least $1 million in chunks of as much as $50,000 per couple.
For now at least, though, the First Lady won't be joining her husband as he makes his first pitch for cash that could go into her campaign coffers.
"She is not scheduled to go," said spokeswoman Toby Graff said, adding that a last-minute change is always possible.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee will get half the take from the event. Although the New York money won't be pledged to specific candidates, Mrs. Clinton stands to benefit and will be one of her party's top priorities if she runs.
Clinton, as the incumbent president, is the Democratic Party's most powerful fund-raiser.
