A fundraiser for President Joe Biden in New York on March 28 could set a record for the biggest amount raised for a political event by raising $25 million, according to his campaign. Barack Obama and Bill Clinton will attend the fundraiser.
Fundraiser to unite over three decades of Democratic leadership
The headline-grabbing event will feature a discussion among the three American presidents moderated by ‘The Late Show’ host Stephen Colbert along with musical guests like Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele.
“This historic raise is a show of strong enthusiasm for President Biden and Vice President Harris and a testament to the unprecedented fundraising machine we’ve built,” Biden-Harris 2024 campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg said in a statement.
How much does the fundraiser ticket cost?
The hourlong event is expected to attract thousands of Biden supporters at Radio City Music Hall. The ticket prices start from $225 and go up to $500,000. The event has different tires of access depending on how much money donors give. Small donors can attend the event virtually by paying $25.
For example, a $100,000 donation could get you a photo with all three presidents, $250,000 earns donors access to one reception, and $500,000 gets them an invite to a super exclusive event.
The event doesn’t end there according to the campaign, there is an afterparty too, hosted by none other than First Lady Jill Biden and DJ D-Nice at Radio City Music Hall with 500 selected guests.
Campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg said, “This historic raise is a show of strong enthusiasm for President Biden and Vice President Harris and a testament to the unprecedented fundraising machine we’ve built. Unlike our opponent, every dollar we’re raising is going to reach the voters who will decide this election — communicating the president’s historic record, his vision for the future, and laying plain the stakes of this election.”
This fundraiser is a precursor to the upcoming US presidential election where President Joe Biden will face off against Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. The 2024 United States presidential election is scheduled to happen on November 5.
