George Clooney, Julia Roberts and Jimmy Kimmel were among the guests at the Los Angeles event
US President Joe Biden gestures as he arrives onstage with former US President Barack Obama during a campaign fundraiser at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on June 15.President Joe Biden slammed the U.S. Supreme Court as “out of kilter” at a glitzy fundraiser in Los Angeles on Saturday with former President Barack Obama and top Hollywood celebrities that has raised over $30 million.
Trump nominated three of the six conservatives who control the nine-member court. He and Biden are in a tight rematch race for the Nov. 5 election.“The idea that if he’s reelected he’s going to appoint two more who are flying flags upside down... I think it is one of the scariest parts,” Biden said. Obama said “the power of the Supreme Court is determined by elections. What we’re seeing now is a byproduct of 2016” when Trump was elected. “Hopefully we have learned our lesson. Because these elections matter.”
The Biden campaign outraised the $26 million a March fundraiser in New York City generated where comedian and TV host Stephen Colbert hosted Biden, Obama and former President Bill Clinton. The top-ticket package for the LA event costs $500,000, campaign officials said. Biden campaign’s fundraising in April lagged Trump’s for the first time, after the former president ramped up his joint operation with the Republican National Committee and headlined high-dollar fundraisers.
