Clooney and Roberts help Biden raise USD 28 mn at fundraiser featuring dire warnings about Trump
Deccan ChronicleLos Angeles: Some of Hollywood's brightest stars headlined a glitzy fundraiser for President Joe Biden on Saturday night, helping raise what his re-election campaign said was USD 28 million and hoping to energise would-be supporters for a November election that they argued was among the most important in the nation's history. Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel interviewed Biden and former President Barack Obama, who both stressed the need to defeat former President Donald Trump in a race that's expected to be exceedingly close. Kimmel asked the president what he was most proud of accomplishing, and Biden said he thought the administration's approach to the economy "is working." That meant outpacing the president's fundraiser in March at Radio City Music Hall in New York, which raised USD 26 million and featured late-night host Stephen Colbert interviewing Biden, Obama and former President Bill Clinton.
