President Biden’s $25M fundraiser with Annie Leibovitz epitomizes Democratic elitism
On Thursday night, there was an opportunity to have a photographer capture you shaking hands with President Biden, or former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, for a donation of $100,000 to Biden’s re-election campaign. Quite extravagant for the party that claims to represent the working class.
The Radio City Music Hall event featured a discussion with three presidents, moderated by Stephen Colbert, along with performances from Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Lea Michele, and more.
With tickets costing up to $500,000 each, the campaign reportedly raised $25 million even before the event began, adding to the $155 million already in the Biden-Harris campaign coffers, aiming to raise a total of one or two billion dollars (excluding undisclosed contributions).
This substantial amount of money is used for advertising campaigns that portray Biden as a fighter for the average American. However, the reality of rising inflation and interest rates is making it harder for Americans to make ends meet.
Despite voter dissatisfaction with economic issues, Biden and his team have avoided touting “Bidenomics” as a solution.
While lavish Manhattan events are enjoyable, relying on wealthy donors to secure victory in the upcoming election seems questionable.
Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump paid his respects at the wake of Police Officer Jonathan Diller, a gesture that Biden has yet to acknowledge.
As Trump attended Officer Diller’s wake in Massapequa, Biden socialized with celebrities at the upscale Essex House hotel in Central Park South.
Partying in luxury while a police family grieves and Americans struggle financially reveals Biden’s true support base: affluent liberals.
During a Democratic National Committee meeting in February, Biden expressed concern that many working-class individuals have shifted toward the Republican Party, citing a lack of attention to their needs.
It’s not difficult to understand why this shift has occurred.
