President Joe Biden‘s reelection campaign is expected to end the day with another $25 million in its coffers after an all-star fundraiser featuring former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
More than 5,000 people will attend the Thursday event, hosted by Mindy Kaling at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall, for performances by Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele, in addition to an armchair conversation with the three presidents, moderated by Stephen Colbert. There will also be separate programming online for supporters who cannot be there in person.
“This historic raise is a show of strong enthusiasm for President Biden and Vice President Harris and a testament to the unprecedented fundraising machine we’ve built,” Biden campaign co-chairman Jeffrey Katzenberg told reporters Thursday. “Unlike our opponent, every dollar we’re raising is going to reach the voters who will decide this election — communicating the president’s historic record, his vision for the future, and laying plain the stakes of this election.”
“The numbers don’t lie: Today’s event is a massive show of force and a true reflection of the momentum to reelect the Biden-Harris ticket,” said Katzenberg, one of the organizers, along with Anna Wintour.
