Obama, Clinton join Biden at fundraiser

Barack Obama and Bill Clinton joined President Joe Biden on Thursday night in New York at the most lucrative fundraiser of the 2024 campaign, warning fellow Democrats that Donald Trump must be defeated while making forceful cases for Biden’s reelection.

“Joe is absolutely right that we’ve got not just a nominee, but, frankly, a party and an entire infrastructure that increasingly seems unconcerned with the essence of America,” Obama said of Trump and Republicans. “The idea of self-governance and the possibilities of us all fully operating and bridging our differences and moving forward.”

The rare showing of three Democratic presidents presented a united front to help Biden bring together a Democratic coalition that’s shown signs of splintering.
