WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – It was a busy weekend of campaigning for President Biden and former President Trump.
A star-studded fundraiser helped the Biden campaign pull in a multi-million-dollar haul, while former President Trump made stops in a key swing state.
The Biden campaign says they raked in a record $30 million from that fundraiser and Team Trump touted his weekend events in the battleground state of Michigan.
Headlined by Hollywood stars the Biden campaign hosted a Los Angeles fundraiser where celebrities rallied behind his re-election pitch.
George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and former President Obama all took the stage in support of President Biden and comedian Jimmy Kimmel questioned the president about the stakes of the election.
Kimmel asked, “What can we do about this?’ and President Bidden responded, “Elect me, again, And I’ll tell you why.”
In a clip shared to social media, President Biden took aim at the Supreme Court criticizing them for overturning abortion rights and warning the next president will likely have the chance to appoint new justices.
“I think it is one of the scariest parts. Look, the Supreme Court has never been as out of kilter as it is today,” said Biden.
In Michigan, former President Trump made back-to-back stops in the battleground state, speaking at a church roundtable geared towards Black voters.
“It’s an honor to be here. It’s a very important area for us. We’ve done more for, and I say this, I say proudly, more for the Black population than any president since Abraham Lincoln,” said Trump.
He also railed against the Biden administration at a conservative convention.
“Less than four years ago, our border was secure. Inflation was nowhere to be seen. We didn’t have inflation,” said Trump.
Just 10 days from now the two candidates are set to face off on the debate stage that will be hosted by CNN in a studio in Atlanta, Georgia.
