President Biden is on track to raise more money for his campaign in one night ($25 million) than Trump raised for his campaign in a month ($20.3 million).
According to the Biden campaign, “The evening will begin with a virtual pre-programming for grassroots supporters, hosted by Biden-Harris Campaign Manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez and including conversations with the three presidents. The in-person program includes a star-studded program hosted by Mindy Kaling and featuring musical guests Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo and Lea Michele. The evening will begin with First Lady Jill Biden and conclude with the main event of an armchair conversation with three presidents hosted by Late Night’s Stephen Colbert.”
The campaign is offering access to “exclusive virtual events with three presidents” with a $25 donation. Presidents Biden, Obama and Clinton “will share their thoughts on the 2024 election and answer fun questions!”
The Biden campaign has outperformed Donald Trump so far, but with Trump courting Paul Manafort through connections to foreign enemies and (corrupt?) billionaires who want to keep all the money, every dollar and every door knock counts for the Biden campaign. .

Trump has had trouble raising money and has reportedly spent time at his clubs trying to squeeze money from wealthy conservative donors.
Polls for this election were very close, suggesting Biden would struggle to beat 91 men with criminal records. Most recently, Biden was slightly ahead in these polls, and it's true that early polls don't take you to the bank, especially these days.
But the stakes are so high that every dollar will count.
This is a campaign for the soul of this country, a campaign for the very existence of our imperfect but respectable democracy. Every citizen must do something to get involved, even if it means talking about an issue to a friend, neighbor, or colleague.
The dictator is knocking. Let us all respond to his call to fight for our country against his malice.
