Talk show legend to bring in bucks for Joe Biden

David Letterman is set to headline a fundraiser with President Joe Biden with Hawaii Gov. Josh Green, a sign that Biden’s campaign is forging ahead despite continued calls for him to bow out of the 2024 race.

The fundraiser on July 29 will be at the home of a family friend on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, Green told The Associated Press Friday. It will feature the longtime late-night host, plus Biden and first lady Jill Biden. The campaign has at least 10 other fundraising events over the last 10 days of July.

Letterman helmed CBS’ “Late Show” for 22 seasons. The event comes as other celebrities like George Clooney, director Rob Reiner and Stephen King have called on Biden to drop out of the 2024 race, following his disastrous debate performance on June 27. There’s also been growing concern over continued fundraising support after anxious donors expressed serious worries about his performance and the future of the party.

    Pulling out all stops from Letterman to Streisand. Most of the young zombies have no idea who these people are

      Why do they bother? Because they know who Trump is and what he brings.

        Trump brings Project 2025.
        The Republicans’ plan for CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST THEOCRACY: NO contraceptives, NO abortion with no exceptions, NO no-fault divorce, Surveillance of women’s fertility and reproductive functions, book bans, porn bans, and more!

      Hey Nepo Mike? Will the Demo convention be on during the middle of the day so Joe can get his early bird meal and lights out by 2000?

        Did I miss it? Did Trump rant about immigrants for 93 minutes despite having married THREE of them?

        God will get you for making fun of the seniors
        You should be glad to get his age
        And when you get there somebody might make fun of you
        And stop believing everything if he was getting his naps he wouldn’t have been sick with a head cold and covid so apparently he’s been running around taking care of this country something that Donald Duck never did but eat McDonald’s, play golf and make fun of people

      They also have the politician who’s a woman beater and one came out of jail
      And went straight to the convention

    Is Letterman even still alive? He was a funny comedian on late night etc but just like most Democrats he is very Rich and very out of touch with the reality of living in the USA.
