President Joe Biden will be attending a Hollywood fundraiser next month with former President Barack Obama, as reported by NBC News. The event will feature a contest with George Clooney and Julia Roberts to engage grassroots donors and top celebrities. Clooney and Roberts will also be contributing to campaign emails and text messages to attract more donations.
This fundraiser follows a successful event in New York, where the Biden campaign raised $26 million, setting a record for a single event. Despite trailing in the polls, Biden has a strong financial advantage over former President Trump, with $85.5 million cash on hand at the end of March.
Biden’s fundraising efforts have relied heavily on celebrity endorsements, with support from stars like Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, and Cynthia Erivo. Tickets for the fundraiser were sold for as low as $225, with different tiers of access available depending on the donor’s generosity.
Although Biden’s approval rating is at a historic low for re-election, the fundraiser with celebrity support aims to boost his campaign efforts.
