In an unprecedented show of unity and support, United States President Joe Biden joined forces with his Democratic predecessors, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, at a star-studded fundraiser event.
The gathering, held at New York’s iconic Radio City Music Hall, was a historic occasion, marking the first time three Democratic presidents have come together for a campaign fundraiser.
The event, which took place on March 28, 2024, was a resounding success, with expectations to raise over $25 million, setting a new benchmark for political fundraising. The fundraiser drew an impressive crowd, with more than 3,000 attendees showing their support for President Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign.
The evening kicked off with a virtual pre-program featuring the three presidents, hosted by Biden’s campaign manager. The main event was an engaging armchair conversation moderated by late-night comedian Stephen Colbert, with musical performances by renowned artists such as Queen Latifah and Lizzo adding to the excitement.
High-profile guests had the unique opportunity to have their portraits taken with the trio of presidents by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. The fundraiser also included virtual components, such as a contest for tickets and accommodations, driving smaller donations and broadening participation.
This historic event not only signifies the Democratic Party’s solidarity but also underscores the widespread enthusiasm for President Biden’s leadership as he seeks a second term in office.
