Obama, George Clooney to hold virtual fundraiser for Biden on Tuesday

Former President Obama and actor George Clooney will participate in a virtual conversation and fundraiser for presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s campaign, according to two sources with knowledge of the event.

The event, set to take place late Tuesday afternoon, will raise money for the Biden campaign and the Democratic National Committee, with tickets starting at $250 and going all the way up to $250,000, the sources said.

Obama helped raise more than $11 million for his former vice president in a highly anticipated kick-off fundraiser last month.

He is also expected to headline other events in the remaining months of the campaign.

Clooney fundraisers. Public figures who told people that legal donations are a 100% corrupting influence on Democrats should be ashamed of themselves. So glad that nonsense is over!
