1. I'm scared.

14. It just hit me where that came from.

That's why I made a second donation!

2. KR!

[R B Garr]

3. K&R!

It’s obvious Biden’s trouncing shows what and who Democrats know and trust!

[SheltieLover]

4. K&R!

5. Barack Obama's First Fundraiser For Joe Biden Reaps $7.6 Million;

Former President Says Donald Trump “Actively Promotes Division”

'Former president Barack Obama headlined his first fundraiser for Joe Biden on Tuesday, at an event that raised $7.6 million for his former vice president’s campaign.

That is the most money raised for at any Biden event this cycle.

With 175,000 donors chipping in, Obama and Biden appeared virtually before thousands of donors,'>>>

10. Final tally, $11 million!

[elleng]

13. Good number!

6. K&R I donated and watched.

7. 175,000 of us tuned in to hear

the discussion between these two men.

It wasn’t just a fundraiser, it was an hour and a half of thoughtful discussion on a range of subjects. I feel a little badly that it got so little attention here. We need to stop hanging on to Trump’s every word and start posting more about the ideas that are being proposed for the next administration.

9. I agree. I'm stunned at how few DU'ers seemed to be present.

It was well worth the donation to be able to listen to what Joe Biden and Barack Obama had to say today. It was uplifting, hopeful, and full of the dignity and honor that is sorely lacking in this current Administration.

Someone (troll?) wrote a very divisive thread about the online fundraiser. That thread has since been hidden. But it motivated me to donate again while the fundraiser was going on. So to the person who wrote the divisive thread, I gave more money to Joe because of you!

I hope Joe does more of these online fundraisers. We will have to be his cheerleaders, and get the word out there so that more people on DU will get involved.

8. I'm so glad they are teaming up again to fight the fascists. nt

[Nevilledog]

11. Wow.... And didn't have to infect anyone just to prop up Joe's ego.

Good job Dems!

[herding cats]

12. I donated for this, but I'm pretty sure my paltry $50 isn't a huge deal when seeing these numbers!

Go Joe!

[Dem2theMax]

15. When it comes to beating Trump,

Every single penny counts!

[herding cats]

17. So very true!

I want to kick his butt out the door!

[Dem2theMax]

19. I'll hold the door open for you.

Kick away!

[sunonmars]

16. UPDATE Final numbers $11 million.

[herding cats]

18. Wow! That's insane for an online event!

[Cha]
