MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) – President Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton will be in New York City Thursday for a fundraiser.

Thousands are expected to support Biden, who is fighting low poll numbers amid his run for reelection.

Celebrities like Lizzo, Mindy Kaling and Stephen Colbert will also be at the fundraiser. Colbert is reportedly set to host an “armchair conversation” between the current and former presidents.

Biden’s reelection campaign raised $53 million last month, outpacing former President Donald Trump’s February haul of $15.9 million. The cheapest tickets for Thursday’s fundraiser are $225.

But, if you want a photo with all three politicians, it will cost you $100,000.
