apnews.com/article/democrats-election-2024-fundraiser-new-york-ebfbc81d3b70f38745ae00c7ce6a382d
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.

Quick Glance: Chris Christie Declines No Labels Presidential Bid
- Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R) has made the decision not to run as the No Labels candidate for president after extensively evaluating the prospects of a centrist third-party campaign against President Biden and former president Donald Trump.
- During the recent weeks, Christie, along with his team, explored the possibility of joining a No Labels campaign, while No Labels leaders intensified their efforts to court him as a candidate.
- In conclusion, Christie determined that while there is an abstract interest in a third choice in the upcoming election, there is no practical path to victory. The challenges include significant ballot access and legal expenses, a delayed start in fundraising campaign funds, and the risk of diverting votes from Biden to elect Trump as president, according to those involved.
- The No Labels leaders have set a deadline in early April to nominate a presidential ticket, with a clear indication that they will only proceed if they can recruit someone with a feasible chance of winning. Individuals involved with No Labels have informed others in recent weeks that they anticipate Christie will be the nominee, as reported by individuals familiar with the discussions.
