With the support of Hollywood stars such as Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Jimmy Kimmel, US President Joe Biden has collected donations for the election campaign.
The 81-year-old Democrat appeared at a fundraising gala in Los Angeles on Saturday evening (local time). Even before the event started, the wonderful event would have raised more than 28 million dollars (26.20 million euros), according to Biden’s election campaign.
“Biggest fundraiser”
Biden’s team called it the “largest fundraising campaign in the history of the Democratic Party.”
Host Jimmy Kimmel spoke with him and former US President Barack Obama on stage for over half an hour. In the conversation, Biden criticized the US Supreme Court, which has moved far to the right under his Republican predecessor Donald Trump.
“There has never been a court that has been so out of step,” Biden said, according to the accompanying press. The fact that Trump could fill additional judge positions if re-elected is frightening.
Disqualifying behavior
Regarding Trump, Obama said that behavior that would previously have been self-disqualifying has now been normalized in the US. There are certain norms and values that we must stand up for.
In addition to Roberts, Clooney and Streisand, actor Jason Bateman and singer Sheryl Lee Ralph also appeared.
Biden flew a total of nine time zones to Los Angeles for the G7 summit in Italy instead of the peace conference in Ukraine. In April, the Democrat had already raised more than $26 million in donations at a major fundraising event in New York, with the support of his predecessors Obama and Bill Clinton.
Biden wants to move back to the White House after the presidential elections in November. His challenger is his predecessor, Republican Donald Trump. Both try to outdo each other with glamorous fundraising events.
Costly election campaigns
Your campaign teams continue to announce new records for the millions raised. Election campaigns in the US cost a fortune. If you want to be successful, you need change and depend on generous supporters.
