Biden Criticizes Supreme Court at $28 Million Star-Studded Fundraiser

Jump to Summary

President Joe Biden attended a $28 million fundraiser in Los Angeles, which featured former President Barack Obama and various Hollywood celebrities, including George Clooney and Julia Roberts. During the event, Biden criticized the U.S. Supreme Court, calling it "out of kilter." He warned that if Donald Trump were reelected, he could appoint two new Supreme Court nominees, potentially shifting the court's balance further.

Biden's remarks come as his administration faces challenges from the court's conservative majority, which has made decisions restricting affirmative action, gay rights, gun control, and environmental regulation, and has blocked several of Biden's policy initiatives on immigration, student loans, vaccine mandates, and climate change. The fundraiser is part of Biden's broader effort to show strength and momentum despite his low approval ratings and concerns about his age.
