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.

Obama and Clinton look to boost Biden without overshadowing him

President Joe Biden is hoping the star power of his Democratic predecessors, former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, will shine a light on his campaign against another former president, Donald Trump, during a high-profile New York City fundraiser.
But although his last State of the Union before November’s general election addressed concerns about his age, his campaign is under pressure to make sure Biden is not overshadowed, particularly by his younger, more popular former boss.
The Biden campaign dismisses the idea that the president has an enthusiasm problem, citing expectations Thursday night’s fundraiser could raise more than $25 million, with 5,000-plus attendees anticipated to be at Radio City Hall.
“Democrats are unified and energized behind President Biden’s reelection campaign, and that will be on full display this Thursday in New York City,” Biden campaign spokesman Kevin Munoz told the Washington Examiner. “Donald Trump has no juice heading into the general: Huge chunks of Republican primary voters have made clear they have no interest in voting for him this November, Republican leaders like his own vice president are openly opposing him, and even if Trump wanted to reach them (he does not!), he has no cash or energy to do so.”

"Billionaire Elitists for Biden" does have a nice ring to it.
-
Both Bill Clinton and especially the Obamas are rock stars in the Democrat party, especially on the Democrat left
They can definitely motivate Democrat voters to get out to vote, regardless of how they feel about Biden
The Republican party has no such person.
I was talking to my older son the other day over the phone and he voted for Trump twice and is going to vote for him again, but we both agreed that Biden is probably gonna squeak this one out. Republicans are playing defensive and catch up.

Old Bath House needs to be in the spotlight. He'll be glad-handing and grifting like Al Sharpton at a Tawana Bradley rape hoax rally.

I hear Lizzo will be there. She's sweating like a pig because she heard they are charging by the pound to get in.

Just more for Joe to sniff.

You reap what you sow, I guess.
Last night in New York pro-Pals harassed attendees to a Biden fundraiser. One man stalked a young woman screaming:
“F*cking murderous k*ke.”
“F*cking die.”
“Keep it moving b*tch.”

NEW: Lizzo performs at Biden’s $25M fundraiser with the liberal elite, hosted by Stephen Colbert.
Lizzo is accused of s*xually harassing her backup dancers but that doesn’t seem to bother the three former presidents. One of the allegations claims Lizzo forced dancers to eat bananas protruding out of s*x workers’ vag*nas.
The lawsuit says, “… things quickly got out of hand. Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching d*ldos launched from the performers’ v*ginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers’ v*ginas.”
Lizzo is also accused of religious discrimination, racial discrimination and fat-shaming.

Wait. Lizzo fat-shamed someone? Geez, what planet are we living on?

That is an understatement. Last time I saw something as big as her it was out grazing in a field. Or swimming with a whale pod.

Maybe the Republicans should have put up more of a fight instead of standing idly by while the Democrats funneled $3 trillion in deficit spending directly into their campaign chests.

I looked her up to see who she was when I saw her name mentioned
You have to admire black women. She’s packing around 300-400lbs and she’s wearing skimpy outfits and two piece swimsuits and believes that’s appropriate for a woman her size
You wouldn’t see a white woman do that

Former President Barack Obama snapped at protesters at a glitzy star-studded fundraiser in New York City meant to bring in millions for President Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential campaign.
After several interruptions, Obama, who was joined onstage at the Radio City Music Hall with Biden and former President Bill Clinton, told the protesters, “You can’t just talk, you have to listen,” according to a Reuters reporter ...
One protester was a woman blowing a whistle and holding a “war pig” sign. That was followed by two other waves of protests, the outlet reported. “Shame on you Joe Biden,” someone shouted. Multiple people yelled, “Blood on your hands.” The protesters were ushered out.
Meanwhile, protesters outside the music hall chanted, “F*ck Joe Biden!” and “Genocide Joe has got to go!” ...

if by July-ish, the RNC is still lagging far behind the DNC in fundraising, then this will be pretty much over
