The Biden campaign is gearing up for a significant fundraiser event featuring three Democratic presidents—Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton—scheduled for March 28. According to sources familiar with the planning process, the campaign is narrowing down potential locations in New York City, with Radio City Music Hall being one of the venues under consideration.
Reports indicate that the fundraiser might entail a moderated discussion involving the three presidents, adding an interactive element to the event.
Although spokespeople for Obama and Clinton have declined to provide specific comments, both former presidents acknowledged the fundraiser via Twitter on Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesperson for the Biden campaign emphasized that no details, including the venue or location, have been finalized yet.
Last month, NBC News reported the Biden campaign’s efforts to organize this unprecedented fundraiser, aiming to leverage the collective appeal of the current president and his two immediate Democratic predecessors.
Biden’s team anticipates that such a high-profile fundraiser will not only generate substantial financial support for his re-election bid but also galvanize Democrats. Obama and Clinton continue to command significant popularity within the Democratic Party.
The consideration of a venue as sizable as Radio City Music Hall, capable of accommodating nearly 6,000 attendees, suggests the campaign’s intention to host a substantial gathering of supporters.
Sources involved in planning the March fundraiser indicate that its success could pave the way for similar events later in the year, potentially featuring the three presidents once again.
