Obama, Clinton and big-name entertainers help Biden raise a record $26 million for his reelection

Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and some big names from the entertainment world have delivered a rousing New York embrace of President Joe Biden at a campaign fundraiser that hauled in a record-setting $26 million-plus for the incumbent's reelection campaign.

Former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama will join Biden on Thursday, March 28,, in New York City for a one-of-a-kind Democratic extravaganza that's expected to expand the party's already significant cash advantage over Republicans this year. Trump’s campaign is expecting to bring in$33 million at a big fundraiser next week in Palm Beach, Florida, according to a person familiar with the details who spoke on condition of anonymity to confirm a number first reported by the Financial Times. “On the same day President Trump attended the wake of slain New York Police Department officer Jonathan Diller, Joe Biden wines and dines with celebrities at a fundraiser with Barack Obama and Bill Clinton,” he said in a statement.
