President Barack Obama, who already has raised more money than all the Republican presidential contenders combined, is set to take in more than $2 million at two events tonight in New York City.
On the same night that eight of the Republicans vying for their party’s presidential nomination are debating in Iowa, Obama is addressing donors, first at an event at the Ritz-Carlton being hosted by Gary Hirshberg, chief executive officer of Paris-based Danone S.A.’s Stoneyfield Farm Inc., and then at a dinner being put on by Harvey Weinstein, the co-founder of Miramax Film Corp., and Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue.
