President Biden’s campaign is looking to raise big money in the Big Apple on Thursday, pulling out all the stops for a major fundraiser that will reunite him with former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton, as well as a bevy of celebrities.
The star-studded night comes as the Biden campaign looks to bring in a massive haul before the close of the quarter to further cement his lead over former President Trump in the cash race. It also serves as a preview of the kinds of names Biden will rely on to help generate enthusiasm among Democratic voters in November’s election.
The event is expected to draw more than 5,000 supporters and raise more than $25 million, the campaign said.
“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 spokesperson Kevin Munoz said in a statement.
“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,” Munoz continued. “Elections are won by putting in the work to assemble a broad, diverse coalition — and Joe Biden is doing just that.”
