Associated Press reported About the price and celebrities of the fundraising event (excerpt):
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York was the first to stand and warm up the packed house of about 5,000 supporters. The entertainers also had a great time on stage. Lizzo belted out her hit song „About Dumb Time,“ and host Mindy Kaling joked that she was happy to be in the same room as „a bunch of rich people“ and promised to „openly“ He added that he was very happy to see their support for the president. your taxes. ”
The hours-long fundraiser had different access tiers depending on donors' generosity. Other celebrities include Queen Latifah, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, and Lea Michele. Tickets were sold for as low as $225.
More money gave donors more intimate time with the president. A photo of all three was valued at $100,000. A gift of $250,000 allowed donors to attend one reception with her, and $500,000 allowed them to attend an even more special gathering.
“But the party does not stop there,” the campaign said. First Lady Jill Biden and DJ D. Nice hosted an afterparty for 500 guests at Radio City Music Hall.
The highlight of the night was Biden, Obama and Clinton sitting down for a group interview with CBS Late Show host Stephen Colbert.
NBC News reported Biden addressed the protesters' concerns, but Obama got irritated and lectured them on civility (excerpt).
However, the discussion was interrupted at least five times by demonstrators. Colbert acknowledged one of the protesters and asked Biden about the United States' role in ensuring a peaceful and prosperous future for both Israelis and Palestinians.
Biden said more needs to be done to get relief to Gaza, but added that Israel's very existence is at risk. The President also discussed diplomatic efforts toward a two-state solution. His response drew a standing ovation and a chorus of „Four more years.“
President Obama spoke harshly to the protesters who were being interrupted, saying, „We can't just talk without listening.'' He added: „That's what the other side does.“
Biden's team tried to reduce the size of the event and withhold the exact location for longer than usual after his speech in January was interrupted about a dozen times by pro-Palestinian protesters. We have taken steps to minimize this.
Videos of protesters posted show them being quickly removed by security personnel.
