President Joe Biden headlined a fundraiser in New York on Tuesday night that raised about $2 million for Democratic Party organizations, and featured celebrity guests including Robert De Niro and the city’s mayor, Eric Adams.
The event, on the night before Biden is to address the United Nations General Assembly, was held at the Manhattan home of Henry Munoz, a designer and Democratic activist who owns the comedy production company and website Funny or Die.
About 100 people attended the event, which benefited the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Grassroots Victory Fund, according to a DNC official.
