Joe Biden raked in over $700,000 on Wednesday at a Hollywood fundraiser, one of the biggest hauls so far in the former vice president's campaign to take on President Donald Trump in 2020.

The evening reception had a host committee of Hollywood luminaries including DreamWorks co-founder Jeffrey Katzenberg, executive and producer Peter Chernin, actor Rob Reiner and Terry Press, the president of CBS Films, according to the event's invitation. It took place at the home of interior designer Michael Smith and James Costos, a former ambassador to Spain under President Barack Obama, the invite shows.

The total eclipsed what Biden raised at his 2020 campaign's first fundraising event in Philadelphia at the home of Comcast executive David Cohen, which was estimated to bring in just over $500,000.

More than 300 people showed up at the Hollywood fundraiser, but not all of them cut checks for the maximum individual amount of $2,800. People familiar with the planning told CNBC that it was "opened up to young professionals," including some who gave $500 to get in the door. Many of the donors came from New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Massachusetts, Florida and Tennessee, the people
said.

9. And yet... the smears persist.

Now we can’t even tell Joe we want a hug without being compared to Dumpster supporters.

14. Yeah, those were gratuitious

ugly smears.

10. Not bad...

300 people, each donating the maximum $2800 personal donation would have generated $840,000. That's why candidates go to these fundraisers that attract people who can donate that much. For the donors, it's not a big deal to write a check that size, so it's not all that remarkable, but it's a great source of campaign funding.

I never criticize this kind of fundraising, but not all candidates can generate that kind of sum at one event.

12. Since $$ seems to be the best barometer. ..

Wooo Hooo.

Still, Joe remains the most qualified both nationally and globally. That’s really what is important.

18. One thing that makes me pause about Joe

is that he's running a campaign based on an old model of fundraising and voter contact. Even Trump's operation is more sophisitacated
