US President Joe Biden is set to host a record-breaking fundraiser in New York City, alongside his predecessors Barack Obama and Bill Clinton.
The gathering and concert will raise over $25m (£20m) for the Democrat's re-election campaign - the most ever for a single political event, says his team.
They are looking to extend a growing cash gap between the president and his Republican challenger Donald Trump.
Polls suggest the race for the White House rests on a knife edge.

Thursday's event at New York's Radio City Music Hall comes after a Biden campaign blitz in battleground states that could prove pivotal in November's vote.

The 81-year-old has been seeking to capitalise on momentum following his State of the Union Address earlier this month, which was well-received by Democrats.

However the president's approval ratings remain persistently low, despite a recent promising bump.

Mr Trump is also in the New York area on Thursday, attending the wake of a police officer, Jonathan Diller, who was shot and killed in the line of duty. 

The Biden campaign recently declared it had $155m cash on hand, which it said was the biggest war chest any Democratic candidate in history had possessed at this point in an election cycle.
