Questions are being raised as to why President Biden’s re-election campaign isn’t revealing the names of any donors who attended its star-studded fundraiser in New York City with Biden and former presidents Clinton and Obama. The Thursday evening fundraiser with the three presidents pulled in over $26 million, according to Biden’s campaign, reports Fox News.
“An Evening with President Biden and Presidents Obama and Clinton” was held at Radio City Music Hall and was sold out, according to the campaign, welcoming more than 5,000 attendees. Those at the function included a combination of small grassroots donors and some of the campaign’s highest donors and bundlers, a senior Biden adviser said.
However, Biden’s team refused to divulge the names of any financial supporters at the glamorous event when asked by Fox News Digital. The little bit of information we do know is that Biden’s event was moderated by late-night TV host Stephen Colbert, and included a program hosted by actress Mindy Kaling and performances from Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele. First lady Jill Biden introduced the main event and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., each gave remarks.
The Biden event garnered lots of attention, not because of the elitist lefties in attendance, but because a somber event was taking place nearby. Former President Trump attended a wake for New York Police Officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed in the line of duty.
Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told Fox News Digital in a statement, “President Trump honored the life and legacy of Officer Diller and paid respects to his family, friends and the NYPD for their terrible loss. “Meanwhile, the Three Stooges — Biden, Obama and Clinton — were at a glitzy fundraiser in the city with their elitist, out-of-touch celebrity benefactors.”
