Stephen Colbert will host a fundraiser for Biden attended by Joe, Bill Clinton and Obama. Is it time to reclassify the Late Show as a Democratic super PAC?
Naturally, the event will be an elite, high-ticket event, with special perks for people who make six-figure donations.
They are trying to raise more than $10 million.
FOX News reports:
Biden, Clinton and Obama will attend the lavish fundraiser with Stephen Colbert
President Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton will appear with liberal host Stephen Colbert late at night for a fundraiser that could bring in more than $10 million.
The fundraiser is scheduled for March 28 in New York City and the cheapest tickets cost around $250, according to NBC News. Photos with all three presidents will cost $100,000, and those who donate $250,000 or $500,000 will be able to attend separate functions with the Democratic trio.
Colbert, a staunch Democratic Party supporter who has hosted “The Late Show” since 2015, is expected to host a conversation with all three presidents attended by more than 3,000 people.
“This will be the largest fundraising event Joe Biden has done in his political career. I believe it is the largest fundraising event in the history of the Democratic Party. It’s also the only time three [Democratic] presidents have done a [campaign] fundraising together,” Biden Victory Fund national finance president Chris Korge told NBC News.
People on Twitter don’t seem particularly impressed.

3 Democratic presidents and can only attract 3,000 people. Trump attracts many people who fill his limousine at a gas station. https://t.co/rApq3pz6UB

Colbert is a true partisan hack. This event will probably be the highlight of his life.
