Former President Barack Obama, alongside other Democratic heavyweights like Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, played a significant role in a fundraising event organized for President Joe Biden in New York City. The fundraiser, held at Radio City Music Hall, was able to generate a record-breaking $25 million [1]. Biden managed to raise more money in that one night than former President Donald Trump had raised throughout the entire previous month [3]. Despite some logistical challenges the event caused for the residents of Manhattan due to the congestion, including street closures for security reasons, the fundraiser was a massive success for the Biden campaign [4]. Obama, being one of the key figures of the event, aimed to provide support to Biden, who is facing concerns regarding his age as the 2024 election approaches [13].

While the fundraiser was a successful endeavor for the Biden campaign, efforts were made to ensure that the presence of Obama and the Clintons did not overshadow Biden himself, as the focus remained on the current president [18]. The event marked a strategic move by Biden's team, as they leaned on the support of experienced Democratic leaders like Obama and the Clintons during the campaign. This stood in contrast to former President Trump's approach as he distanced himself from other GOP leaders, preferring to operate in relative isolation during his campaign [31]. The fundraiser served as a strong demonstration of unity and support within the Democratic party for Biden's reelection bid [24].

In conclusion, the fundraiser led by Obama, alongside the Clintons, was a critical fundraising success for President Biden, highlighting the importance of unity and support within the Democratic party ahead of the upcoming 2024 election. The event also showcased the strategic approach of seeking assistance from experienced Democratic leaders to bolster Biden's campaign [26].
