Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to attend a fundraiser for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) on Saturday in New Orleans, according to the White House.

Tickets for the event, held at the Ritz-Carlton New Orleans, reportedly range from $250 to $2,500.

Landrieu, who is running for a fourth term next year, is one of a number of red state Democrats who have yet to take a position on the White House push for universal background checks on firearms purchases.

Biden, meanwhile, has been the face of that push, travelling to another red state, Virginia, on Friday to make the case for background checks and other gun control laws in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., school massacre.
