The event will also feature performances by Lizzo, Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele.<\/p>\n<p>Despite his generally flagging approval ratings, Biden has maintained a significant cash advantage over Trump. Thursday\u2019s fundraiser is expected to haul in the single largest total for Biden this cycle. The president ended February with more than $150 million cash on hand, roughly $100 million more than Trump, whose fundraising is being used to offset the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/immigrant-business-owner-who-fled-communism-jailed-for-staying-open-supporters-back-her-with-gofundme\/\" title=\"Immigrant Business Owner Who Fled Communism Jailed For Staying Open, Supporters Back Her With GoFundMe\">mounting legal fees<\/a> and penalties stemming from dozens of federal indictments.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for Thursday night started at $250, but upgraded status, complete with a photograph alongside Biden, Obama, and Clinton, cost attendees up to $100,000. Attendees could also purchase tickets to high-profile receptions and after-parties for up to $500,000. Chris Korge, the finance chairman for the Biden Victory Fund, told NBC he expects Thursday\u2019s fundraiser to draw upwards of 3,000 attendees and could bring in more than $10 million.<\/p>\n<p>Doubts about Biden\u2019s age, coupled with growing dissatisfaction regarding his approach to the conflict in Gaza, have led to the president bleeding support from young, black, and Latino voters. However, Democrats remain optimistic that appearing onstage next to his predecessors will help the president shore up his winning 2020 coalition win ahead of the November election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is everything to be gained by Joe Biden standing next to Bill Clinton and Barack Obama,\u201d Leon Panetta, a veteran of both the Obama and Clinton administrations, explained. \u201cThat picture is worth a hell of a lot in politics today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thursday\u2019s event will, by comparison, shine a light on Trump\u2019s fractured relationship with the establishment Republican Party, and Biden campaign officials told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> they expect Democratic unity to be a major theme of this coming fundraiser.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Obama and President Clinton strongly support President Biden\u2019s leadership and, obviously, his agenda. All three have agreed overwhelmingly on the issues that this president has been fighting for for the past three years, including an economy that works for all and leaves no one behind. That is an economy that\u2019s built from the bottom up, middle out, and making sure that we protect our critical freedoms,\u201d White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday ahead of Biden\u2019s trip to New York. <\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cThese are presidents, two former presidents and the current president, that believe in what we\u2019re trying to do in the Biden-Harris administration, trying to move this country forward. Trying to make sure we\u2019re protecting our democracy, protecting our freedom, and building an economy that leaves no one behind, and I think that\u2019s the most important here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though their paths likely won\u2019t cross, Trump will also be out and about in New York City on Thursday. He\u2019s expected to attend the wake of a New York City police officer who was shot and killed during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tampa-police-chief-resigns-after-showing-badge-at-traffic-stop\/\" title=\"Tampa Police Chief Resigns After Showing Badge At Traffic Stop\">recent traffic stop<\/a> in the city.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Jean-Pierre declined to say if Biden plans to address the death of the NYC officer but stated that \u201cour hearts go out to this officer who tragically lost his life in the line of duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden is deeply grateful for the sacrifices police officers make to keep our communities safe. This shooting is yet another painful reminder of the toll of gun violence, what it\u2019s doing to inflict on families in our communities in our nation,\u201d she stated. \u201cThat\u2019s why the president signed more than two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chris-wallace-grills-jen-psaki-you-are-being-less-transparent-than-the-trump-administration\/\" title=\"Chris Wallace Grills Jen Psaki: \u2018You Are Being Less Transparent Than The Trump Administration\u2019\">dozen executive actions<\/a>. That\u2019s why we\u2019re able to pass a bipartisan agreement to deal with the gun violence that we\u2019re seeing in this country. Obviously, more work needs to be done. We need Congress to continue to act on making sure that our communities are safe, and, again, our hearts go out to to this officer and his family. It\u2019s a difficult time for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden plans a high-dollar fundraiser in NYC with past Democratic presidents.
