Biden, joined by Obama and Clinton, steps onto the stage at a New York fundraising event
US President Joe Biden, accompanied by his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, gathered at a fundraising event on Thursday, which garnered a hefty sum of 25 million dollars for his election campaign. The event, held at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, marked a significant milestone for the Democratic Party. Biden’s adept fundraising efforts signal a strong lead-up to the November elections. Outside the hall, demonstrators echoed pro-Palestinian sentiments, while some attendees inside expressed solidarity with them through whistles and chants. News AFP
At the outset, Biden’s campaign group proudly announced the record-breaking fundraising achievement, highlighting that even his rival Trump couldn’t amass such funds in the entire month of February. The evening featured performances by Queen Latifah and Lizzo, followed by a stimulating question and answer session involving the 42nd, 44th, and 46th Presidents of the United States, moderated by comedian Stephen Colbert and joined by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Amidst the discussions, light-hearted banter ensued, particularly between host Colbert and the former presidents. Post-event, the trio sported Joe Biden’s signature aviator sunglasses for a memorable photo op. Analysts note that Biden’s campaign coffers appear healthier compared to Trump’s, as he allocates funds to cover legal expenses, unlike his counterpart.
In other news, Trump faces legal proceedings on April 15 concerning allegations of bribing Stormy Daniels, a former porn star, to maintain silence.
