President Biden is set to 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 pre-program for grassroots supporters hosted by Biden-Harris campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez and will feature a conversation with the three presidents. The live program will feature a star-studded lineup hosted by Mindy Kaling and featuring musical guests Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele. The evening will be opened by First Lady Jill Biden and will culminate with the main event of 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 $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 outclassed Donald Trump, but with Trump courting (corrupt?) billionaires who want to keep all their money and Paul Manafort with his ties to foreign adversaries, every dollar and every knock on the door is crucial to the Biden campaign.

Trump has struggled to raise money and reportedly spent time at his club trying to squeeze money from wealthy conservative donors.
The polls for this election have been so tight that they suggest Biden is struggling to get the better of a man with 91 criminal charges against him. More recently, Biden has moved slightly ahead in these polls, and it’s also true that early polls are not to be trifled with, 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 very existence of our imperfect but admirable democracy. Every single citizen must do something to participate, even if it’s just talking about problems with friends, neighbors and colleagues.
There’s a dictator knocking. Let us all answer the call to fight his evil intentions for our country.
