Biden hosts fundraiser with his two-term Democratic presidential predecessors, striving to join their ranks
cnn.com/2024/03/28/politics/biden-obama-clinton-nyc-fundraiser/
Biden hosts fundraiser with his two-term Democratic presidential ...
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: IVF Ruling and Abortion Debate in Alabama Election
  • As the Alabama election approaches, candidates focus on abortion and in vitro fertilization (IVF), with Republicans reinforcing support for IVF and Democrats opposing abortion restrictions.

  • Democrats strategically highlight reproductive issues post Roe v. Wade overturn, viewing the Alabama race as a pivotal test for their stance on abortion.

  • Despite voter resonance on reproductive issues, the election outcome is not expected to significantly alter Republican dominance in the state legislature, but would symbolically mark a notable win for Democrats.

  • The stark divide in candidate strategies underscores the ongoing debate over reproductive rights, shaping the battleground district's electoral landscape with high stakes for both parties.
