with president biden and several actual movie stars in hollywood as george clooney and julia roberts, jimmy kimmel, and more were all part of this big campaign event and fundraiser raising over $30 million. that s actually a record-breaking amount for a single event by biden. obama juggling father s day celebrations. we couldn t resist a chance to share a little bit of that. i think, james, we can agree with the importance of family on a weekend like this, but he juggled that with the campaign business. this event did raise money, but it s also trying to raise awareness about the general election. the democrats think the more people they can wake up to the choice of trump and the threat of trump earlier the better. obama s one of the party s most popular messengers, and he used this appearance, his first since trump s conviction, to argue that a jury convicted donald trump of a crime and that matters and that conservatives should reject this republican party, insisting on con
