The Biden campaign is planning a significant fundraising event in New York City, featuring former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Scheduled to take place at Radio City Music Hall, the aim is to collect $25 million to support the Biden-Harris ticket’s campaign endeavors. This effort, dubbed as an “NYC money bomb,” is expected to extend Biden’s fundraising lead over his rival, Donald Trump. The fundraiser will be hosted by Mindy Kaling, with notable performances by Queen Latifah and Lizzo, and a presidential conversation moderated by Stephen Colbert. Ticket prices for the event range from $250 to $100,000, which includes a photo opportunity with Biden, Obama, and Clinton.

In contrast, Donald Trump is scheduled to attend the wake of a New York City police officer, Jonathan Diller, 31, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop in Queens. The wake will take place in Massapequa, Long Island. Invited by Diller’s family, Trump’s attendance aims to honor the slain officer’s memory and symbolizes his support for law enforcement. On his Truth Social platform, Trump expressed his condolences and appreciation for law enforcement officers. This participation comes at a time when Trump is facing fundraising challenges for his campaign, standing in stark contrast to Biden’s substantial fundraising efforts. The death of Officer Diller and Trump’s presence at the wake highlight the ongoing dialogue on law enforcement and public safety in the United States.
