Stephen Colbert to Host Fundraiser with Biden, Clinton, and Obama
Stephen Colbert is set to host a fundraiser that will feature President Biden, along with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. The event, scheduled for March 28 in New York City, is expected to be a high-dollar affair, with tickets starting at $250 and exclusive perks for donors who contribute six-figure amounts.
The fundraiser aims to raise over $10 million, making it a significant event in Democratic Party history. Colbert, known for his strong support of the Democratic Party and as the host of “The Late Show” since 2015, is anticipated to engage in a conversation with all three presidents in front of an audience of over 3,000 attendees.
According to NBC News, attendees who donate $100,000 will have the opportunity to take photos with all three presidents, while those who contribute $250,000 or $500,000 will gain access to separate functions with the Democratic trio. Chris Korge, the Biden Victory Fund national finance chair, expressed that this fundraiser will be the largest that Joe Biden has participated in throughout his political career.

3 Democrat presidents and they can only draw 3k people. Trump draws that many people filing up his limo at a gas station. — Joe Biden (parody) I’m incompetent to stand trial. (@CobraJoeBiden) March 5, 2024
