President Barack Obama will raise cash for Democrats in New York this week.

The president will raise money for the Democratic National Committee tomorrow night during a trip to the city for the dedication of a United Nations building, a Democratic official said.

He will also attend a Democratic fundraiser next month in his hometown of Chicago.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the events have not been formally announced.
