Hillary Clinton to co-host karaoke fundraiser with Lin-Manuel Miranda in NYC
Hillary Clinton will co-host a karaoke fundraiser in New York City this October to raise money for two PACs focused on midterm voter mobilization.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is slated to host a karaoke-style fundraising evening in October in New York City, alongside composer-actor Lin-Manuel Miranda and actor Paul Rudd. The "Raise Your Voice for Democracy" event is being organized by the political action committees Onward Together and Latino Victory Project to raise funds for voter-mobilization initiatives before the midterm elections. Clinton promoted the gathering on social media, humorously warning that her own singing may be unappealing, and highlighted that her co-hosts and other guests will perform.
The two PACs have already endorsed Democratic representatives Josh Gottheimer, Josh Riley and Pat Ryan, and are supporting down-ballot Latino candidates in the region. This fundraiser marks Clinton's return to political fundraising after a recent keynote appearance, underscoring a broader progressive effort to unify the party and counter Republican messaging. Anticipation for the event centers more on the involvement of high-profile entertainers than on Clinton's political role.
Why it matters
The fundraiser seeks to finance voter-mobilization for progressive candidates ahead of crucial midterm elections.
