George Conwaya prominent lawyer and vocal critic of the former president Donald Trumpis preparing to conduct a fundraiser for the President Joe Bidenthe re-election campaign.
What happened: Conway, who has gained popularity thanks to his anti-Trump tweets, will be the main attraction at a fundraiser for Biden in Washington, D.C., on April 24, Axios reported.
This marks Conway’s first major pro-Biden event.
Conway, divorced from former Trump aide Kellyanne Conway, made a significant financial contribution to the Biden Victory Fund, donating the maximum amount of $929,600. The minimum donation for the event is $500.

The fundraiser is organized by Melissa Muska top strategic advisor in Washington, and her husband, Jonathan Silverwith the assistance of Susan Brophy.
Because matter: Conway’s decision to publicly support Biden is significant given his history as a vocal critic of Trump. Earlier this year, Conway suggested that Trump’s mental health may be worsening amid mounting legal challenges and his reelection campaign.
Conway’s fundraising for Biden comes at a time when the former president is currently facing legal challenges at both the federal and state levels, in places as diverse as New York City, Washington, Atlanta, Florida and Georgia. Despite the accusations, he continues to maintain his innocence, describing the cases as a “witch hunt”.
This comes amid concerns about Trump’s intentions if re-elected, with the former White House communications director Antonio Scaramucci recently warned about Trump’s plans to expand his executive powers.
Nationally, Trump had 46.6% support among voters, while Biden lagged behind with 45.8%, according to Real Clear Politics.
