President Joe Biden is hoping the sequel will live up to the original when it comes to his campaign’s blockbuster Hollywood fundraiser starring former President Barack Obama, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts.
A similarly star-studded event in New York in March that also included former President Bill Clinton helped Biden raise a record $26 million. But since then, former President Donald Trump, Biden’s 2024 Republican rival, has experienced a cash bonanza, raising $53 million during the first 24 hours after he was convicted in his hush money trial in May alone.
The star power of Clooney, Roberts, and even Obama for Biden’s fundraiser in Los Angeles on Saturday is “huge” for his campaign and his campaign coffers, according to University of Southern California political science professor Christian Grose.
“The celebrities help create an excitement around the event and likely yield more donations,” Grose told the Washington Examiner.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is expected to moderate a conversation between Biden and Obama. Musical performers have not been announced, but comedian Keegan-Michael Key and actress Connie Britton are anticipated to attend. Ticket prices start at $250, with $500,000 packages covering a pre-event reception, a photo with the two presidents, and an after-party.
“There is pressure on the Democrats to raise money in the aftermath of Trump’s post-conviction success but no more than before,” Mayer said. “The level of pressure on both parties’ fundraisers really couldn’t get much higher.”
Comment:
Average mainstream Americans are who made Hollywood's elites rich and famous, but those are the same people who Hollywood's elites hate.
Biden has caused a lot of suffering to our country.
Why would someone want to give him $millions$ to be reelected.
Biden is obviously morally, mentally and physically unfit to be president.
