It’s not surprising that Hillary Clinton’s schedule for Sunday contains no public events. It’s been a busy week: a campaign event in New York Tuesday night (headlined by billionaire Warren Buffett), a candidate forum Thursday night at Howard University in Washington, a similar gathering today in Orlando before Latino leaders, the continuing hunt for money to fuel her presidential bid and lots of action in her day job in the Senate.

Surely, she’s earned a rest. But at least part of her Sunday will be devoted to business.

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman and longtime Clinton loyalist Terry McAuliffe will be hosting a barbecue at his home in McLean, Va., that she’ll be at, along with husband Bill, that signals the start of the third quarter fundraising period (the second quarter wrapped up today).
