BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG KITTY — President JOE BIDEN heads to the Big Apple tonight for a star-studded fundraising event with former Presidents BARACK OBAMA and BILL CLINTON and “Late Show” host STEPHEN COLBERT.

More than 5,000 people are expected to hit Radio City Music Hall for the event in person, the campaign says, with thousands more watching online. The cheapest tickets start at $250 and go up to $500,000 for smaller receptions. You want a photo with all three presidents? That’ll run you $100,000.

The campaign says Biden will break fundraising records, bringing in $25 million for the one-night-only event.

The event, our colleague Elena Schneider writes this morning, “will all but certainly increase Biden’s sizable financial advantage over former President DONALD TRUMP, who raised about $20 million in all of February. And it will serve as a vivid reminder that the president has ample resources at his disposal as he tries to claw his way up from a small but persistent polling deficit in the general election.”

KH comment:

Will Arthur Engeron and Letitia James be at this event?

They've certainly done their part in bringing down Donald Trump.
