Biden, Obama, Clinton to attend fundraiser

now to politics President Biden traveling to New York today for a fundraiser will he'll be joined by former presidents Obama and Clinton the event comes as new poll numbers show Biden facing major challenges heading into November Doug luer is live in Washington to explain hey there good morning to you good morning Ed the the polls you know indicate some trouble ahead here um but as far as this fundraiser is concerned the Biden team is pulling out all the stops for this huge event in New York ton

ight if one president is isn't enough how about three and if you want a picture with all of them get ready to write a check for $100,000 tonight we understand the importance of the three of them being together obviously this is going to be an important uh important event a star stuttered event at Radio City Music Hall in New York with tickets ranging from $225 to a half a million the president has been on something of a campaign Blitz most recently in North Carolina this week his reelection oper

ation says it's already sitting on $55 million in cash and it only goes up from there it's a disgrace what's happening in our country Beyond reacting to developments in his court cases this week former president Trump has had a relatively light public schedule but a new Fox News poll offers him some good news he's Five Points up in a head-to-head match with Biden and the lead remains consistent even if you factor in third party candidates like Robert F Kennedy Jr who just this week announced tha

t his running mate would be Progressive activist Nicole Shanahan that may fuel concerns among many Democrats that a third party bid would take a toll on Biden you don't need significant support to throw an election to Donald Trump uh we saw this play out in in 2016 now though the president's fundraising prowess is pretty impressive I mean he's got a huge campaign Hall already they're talking about this event tonight bringing in about $25 million do J Wow all right Doug thank you
