NEW YORK (AP) — Barack Obama, Bill Clinton and some big names from the entertainment world have delivered a rousing New York embrace of President Joe Biden at a campaign fundraiser that hauled in a record-setting $26 million-plus for the incumbent’s reelection campaign. The mood at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday night was electric as Obama said he was offering a “positive case” for someone who’s been an outstanding president. Clinton urged people to “stay with what works” in this election. Democrat Biden has a significant fundraising advantage over Republican rival Donald Trump, with more than four times as much cash on hand at the end of February.
