President Biden is set to raise more money for his campaign in one night ($25 million) than Trump raised for his campaign all month ($20.3 million).
According to the Biden campaign, there will be a virtual pre-event for grassroots supporters hosted by Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, followed by a program hosted by Mindy Kaling and featuring musical guests. First Lady Jill Biden will kick off the event, and it will culminate with an armchair conversation with the three presidents, moderated by Late Night’s Stephen Colbert.
The campaign is offering access to an “exclusive virtual event with the three presidents” for a $25.00 donation. Presidents Biden, Obama and Clinton will share their thoughts on the 2024 election and answer some fun questions.
The Biden campaign has so far raised more money than Donald Trump. But with Trump seeking support from wealthy individuals and Paul Manafort with his ties to foreign adversaries, every dollar and every door knock is critical for the Biden campaign.
Trump has been having difficulty gathering funds., and has reportedly spent time at his club trying to get money from rich conservative donors.
The polling for this election has been close, suggesting Biden is struggling to outperform a man with 91 criminal counts against him. Biden has recently pulled slightly ahead in these polls, but early polling is not entirely reliable, especially in present times.
But with so much at stake, every dollar will make a difference.
This is a campaign for the soul of this country and for the very existence of our imperfect but admirable democracy. Every single citizen needs to be doing something to take part, even if it’s just talking to friends and neighbors and colleagues about the issues.
There’s a dictator knocking. Let’s all answer the call to fight his ill intentions for our country.
