President Biden will raise more money for his campaign in one night ($25 million) than Trump raised for his campaign in the entire month ($20.3 million).
According to the Biden campaign, “the evening will begin with a virtual opening act for grassroots supporters, hosted by Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez and featuring a conversation with the three presidents. The in-person program will feature a star-studded program hosted by Mindy Kaling and featuring musical guests Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele. The evening will be kicked off by First Lady Jill Biden and culminate in the main event: an armchair conversation with the three presidents, moderated by none other than Late Night’s Stephen Colbert.”
The campaign offers access to an “exclusive virtual event with the three presidents” for a donation of $25.00. Presidents Biden, Obama and Clinton “will share their thoughts on the 2024 election and answer some fun questions!”
The Biden campaign has outpaced Donald Trump so far, but with Trump courting the (corrupt?) billionaires who want to keep all their money, and Paul Manafort with his connections to foreign adversaries, every dollar and every door knock is critical for the Biden campaign. .

Trump has struggled to raise money and has reportedly spent time at his club in an attempt to squeeze money out of wealthy conservative donors.
The polls for this election were so close that it suggests Biden is struggling to beat a man with 91 charges against him. Most recently, Biden was slightly ahead in these polls, and it’s also true that early polls shouldn’t be trusted to the bank, especially these days.
But with so much at stake, every dollar will matter.
This is a campaign for the soul of this country and for the survival of our imperfect but admirable democracy. Every citizen needs to do something to get involved, even if it’s just talking to friends, neighbors and colleagues about the issues.
A dictator is knocking. Let us all heed the call to fight his evil intentions for our country.
