President Joe Biden is planning to visit New York City on Thursday for an expected record-shattering fundraiser the same day former President Donald Trump is set to honor a fallen cop in the city.

Biden will be meeting up with former President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton for a campaign event that is set to raise $25 million dollars, the campaign told The Associated Press. The event, hosted at Radio City Music Hall in the city, will also feature a star-studded lineup, including Queen Latifah, Lizzo, Ben Platt, Cynthia Erivo, Lea Michele and late night host Stephen Colbert, the AP reported.

The presidential lineup is charging attendees for photos, the AP reported. One photo with all three is $100,000, $250,000 gets donors access to a single reception and half a million dollars gets them an exclusive gathering, according to the AP.

After the campaign event raps up, first lady Jill Biden and DJ D-Nice are running an after-party, the AP reported.

While Biden makes his trip to New York City, Trump will attend the wake of New York Police Department Officer Jonathan Diller, according to the AP. Diller was reportedly shot below his bulletproof vest Monday while advancing on a car parked in violation of the law.

Guy Rivera, the suspect in Diller’s killing, has been arrested 21 previous times, the New York Post reported. Diller reportedly leaves behind his wife and a one-year-old son.

Biden spoke with Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday to give his condolences about the killing of Diller.

“President Trump is moved by the invitation to join NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller’s family and colleagues as they deal with his senseless and tragic death,”  Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told the AP.

The wake will take place Thursday and Friday at the Massapequa Funeral Home on Long Island, according to a schedule obtained by Fox 5 New York.

Biden’s massive fundraising event will add to the growing cash his reelection campaign has on hand. The president’s reelection campaign reported to the Federal Election Commission that it brought in $21 million during February, setting itself up with more than $71 million cash available, according to Politico. The reelection campaign, in conjunction with the Democratic National Committee, reportedly have $97.5 million cash on hand as of February 2024. Trump and the Republican National Committee have $44.8 million, according to the outlet.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
