A massive Democratic fundraising event is causing influential conservatives to realign their messaging on Joe Biden, Donald Trump and the November election.
A $25 million political fundraiser described by the Biden-Harris campaign as the biggest of all time is causing outspoken conservatives to caution Donald Trump supporters about an uphill battle between now and November.
“An Evening with President Biden and Presidents Obama and Clinton” on Thursday at Radio City Music Hall in New York City is predicted to bring in a haul of more than $25 million. The sold-out, star-studded event will include more than 5,000 supporters and comes on the heels of $10 million in fundraising after the president’s most recent State of the Union address—the biggest one-day fundraising period during his current campaign cycle.
President Joe Biden’s approval rating and policies related to inflation, crime, immigration and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Gaza have drawn consistent scrutiny from conservatives as he is likely to face Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election.
But the incumbent president, who along with Trump has already surpassed the required threshold of party delegates, has had a surge in recent polls. Eight separate polls published in March showed promising numbers for Biden, including leads or stalemates in consequential battleground states including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
