Joe Biden may be peddling a “Scranton versus Park Avenue” campaign — but his war chest is filled with cash from deep-pocketed donors living in New York City, including on the ritzy boulevard, records show.
In January, the Democratic presidential candidate was feted at a $2,800-a-ticket fundraiser at Newmark Knight Frank’s offices at 125 Park Avenue — a month after its CEO, Barry Gosin, gave $100,000 to the Biden-supporting super PAC Unite the Country, data on OpenSecrets.org shows.
Biden has also racked up donations from other Park Avenue residents, including Tony Award-winning producer Stacey Mindich, who’s given $200,000, and Caroline Kennedy, who’s donated thousands, according to the records on OpenSecrets.
Donors from the Big Apple have raised more than $51 million for Biden, the second-highest amount behind those in California, which have brought him more than $73 million, according to OpenSecrets.
More than $42 million of donations from New York came from the metropolitan area.
The Biden-supporting super PAC Unite The Country also has a long list of donors from New York — and not a single one from Scranton.
New York residents have also chipped in the most — $6.3 million — to the Biden Action Fund, compared to just $52,000 from those in Pennsylvania, including Biden’s home city of Scranton.
At a CNN town hall last week, Biden framed November’s election as pitting Scranton against Park Avenue — a reference to his working-class upbringing in the Keystone State and diss to Trump’s real-estate background.

Doesn’t Biden get his kids from park avenue?
Almost no downside to Biden on this. Most of his Park Avenue backers will gladly echo him.
Unfortunately, they will, while walking through shit left all over by their favorite vagrants, visited on them by Red Bill, for whom most of them voted. Then, when the NYC conditions, caused by the communist politicians they elected, become intolerable, they’ll run off to other states, like NC, TN, and VA, and try to infect their new residences with the same disease.
Wealthy white elites and criminals have a lot in common. They both resent cops from cutting into their ‘fun’... which is why the two bond together in most third world hellholes.
So of course they support Biden...
These are the same despicable people who elected DeBlasio.
