By President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is off to a strong start, with Hollywood money pouring in ahead of a major fundraising event set to take place in Los Angeles on Saturday. The campaign has already raised an impressive $28 million, setting a new record for the single largest Democratic fundraiser in U.S. history.
According to sources with direct knowledge, a significant portion of the $28 million comes from advance ticket sales for Saturday night’s event, which boasts a star-studded lineup of celebrity supporters. The event will feature appearances by George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jimmy Kimmel, Jason Bateman, Jack Black, Kathryn Hahn, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and even former President Barack Obama.
Remarkably, several million dollars of the total raised so far have come from small-dollar donors, indicating that a substantial number of ordinary Americans have contributed to Biden’s reelection campaign.
The fundraiser is expected to cover a wide range of topics, including the various pieces of legislation Biden has successfully passed during his first term in office. Attendees can anticipate a mix of celebrity mingling and serious policy discussions.
With Los Angeles being one of the wealthiest areas in the country, Biden’s campaign is poised to raise a significant amount of money from this single event. The $28 million already raised accounts for money collected before the actual event takes place, suggesting that the President’s campaign could walk away from the fundraiser with an even more impressive sum.
The record-breaking fundraising achievement demonstrates the strong support Biden enjoys from Hollywood and the broader Democratic Party. As the 2024 election cycle begins to heat up, the President’s campaign appears well-positioned to mount a formidable reelection bid.
The success of this fundraiser is likely to set the tone for future campaign events and could serve as a rallying point for Democrats as they prepare to defend the White House in the upcoming election. With the backing of Hollywood’s elite and a growing base of small-dollar donors, Biden’s campaign is off to a promising start in its quest for a second term.
