President Joe Biden is hoping the sequel will live up to the original when it comes to his campaign’s blockbuster Hollywood fundraiser starring former President Barack Obama, George Clooney, and Julia Roberts.

A similarly star-studded event in New York in March that also included former President Bill Clinton helped Biden raise a record $26 million. But since then, former President Donald Trump, Biden’s 2024 Republican rival, has experienced a cash bonanza, raising $53 million during the first 24 hours after he was convicted in his hush money trial in May alone.
