Cher raised $2 million for Biden campaign at LGBTQ-themed fundraiser

Singer Cher raised nearly $2 million for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in an LGBTQ-themed virtual fundraiser on Monday.

“So ask yourself, do you believe in life after Trump?” Cher asked the audience in a nod to her famous single, “Believe.”

The event featured former South Bend, Ind., Mayor and presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg and other openly gay politicians, such as Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) and Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.).

Cicilline announced at the beginning of the event, which was attended by 500 people, that they had raised nearly $2 million.

During the fundraiser, Biden pledged to sign the Equality Act in his first 100 days in office.

I used to watch Dark Shadows and Sonny and Cher when I got home from school.
