NEW YORK (AP) — President Joe Biden's reelection campaign is getting some big-name fundraising help Monday from Broadway’s top stars.
Both Biden and first lady Jill Biden will attend the event, with tickets ranging from $250 to $7,500.
Since at least Bill Clinton, Democratic presidents have cultivated intimate ties with powerful figures in the Hollywood entertainment industry.
Biden himself raised roughly $1 million during an early 2020 campaign fundraiser at the home of Michael Smith and James Costos, a former HBO executive.
That event was attended by former DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, now a Biden campaign co-chair.
