 Biden fundraiser with Obama, Clinton sees jokes and some protests over war
==========

Former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton joined President Joe Biden for a star-studded fundraiser in New York City, raising over $26 million for Biden's re-election. The event featured a conversation moderated by comedian Stephen Colbert and saw interruptions from pro-Palestine protesters. Biden criticized former President Donald Trump and highlighted his achievements as president. The discussion touched on topics such as democracy, foreign policy, and the Israel-Gaza conflict. Obama and Clinton expressed support for a two-state solution and the legitimacy of Palestinian statehood. Clinton also criticized Trump's economic policies. The event included performances by Queen Latifah, Lizzo, and others. The Biden campaign hopes the fundraiser will energize the Democratic Party ahead of the general election.

 Wow, a fundraiser with Obama, Clinton, and Biden? That's a lineup heavier than a Thanksgiving dinner! With all those big names in one room, it must have been difficult for the protesters to get their voices heard. But hey, at least they got some free comedy from Colbert moderating. Who knew political fundraisers could be such star-studded events?
