BIDEN FUNDRAISER

A fundraiser for BIDEN in New York City that also stars Barack Obama and Bill Clinton is raising a whopping US$25 million ($40m), setting a record for the biggest haul for a political event, his campaign said.

The music hall’s marquee was lit up and read, “An Evening with Joe Biden Barack Obama Bill Clinton”. NYPD officers lined surrounding streets as part of a heavy security presence for the event.

The hours-long fundraiser has different tiers of access depending on a donor’s generosity. The centrepiece is an onstage conversation with the three presidents, moderated by late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert. There’s also a lineup of musical performers – Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele – that will be hosted by actor Mindy Kaling. Thousands are expected and tickets are as low as US$225.





 Donald Trump and the Republican Party's fundraiser in Palm Beach next week has raised at least $33 million, organizers (sic) say.

That haul, which cannot be verified until campaign disclosure filings come out, would likely outraise (sic() President Joe Biden and the Democratic Party's fundraisrin (sic) NYC featuring former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, which is expected to raise more than $25 million.

Yeah Right. We'll believe that when we see it.

Too late - you just did.
You remind me of Trump - saying things that are best kept in your head.
