Quick Glance: Significant Donations for Biden at Election Fundraiser in NYC
  • A fundraising event for President Joe Biden in New York City, featuring Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, raised an impressive $25 million, setting a record for the highest fundraising amount for a political gathering, according to his campaign.

  • The upcoming event at Radio City Music Hall will serve as a prominent highlight following a recent series of campaign travels by the president. Biden's visits to various political battlegrounds in the weeks since his State of the Union address have emphasized his bid for reelection. Furthermore, the event will bring together more than thirty years of Democratic leadership.

  • With varying levels of access based on donors' generosity, the event will feature a significant aspect, an on-stage discussion among the three presidents, moderated by late-night host Stephen Colbert. Additionally, a lineup of musical talents, including Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele, will be hosted by actress Mindy Kaling. Attendance is expected to be high, with ticket prices starting as low as $225.

  • The support of Obama and Clinton is assisting Biden in further strengthening his substantial financial lead over Trump. As of the end of February, Biden had $155 million in available funds, in contrast to Trump's $37 million and his Save America political action committee.
