Rock and roll legend Eric Clapton performed at a Los Angeles fundraiser for Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on Monday in support of his primary campaign against President Joe Biden.
Clapton raised $2.2 million for the Democrat presidential candidate as Biden continues to plummet in the polls. With the borders wide open and crime surging in America, Biden will have a hard time getting votes in 2024.
Kennedy said: “I am deeply grateful to Eric Clapton for bringing his musical artistry and rebellious spirit to my gathering in Los Angeles last night.
“I sometimes think that in our divided society, it is music rather than any kind of intellectual agreement that has the most potential to bring us together again.
“Eric sings from the depths of the human condition.”
“If he sees in me the possibility of bringing unity to our country, it is only possible because artists like him invoke a buried faith in the limitless power of human beings to overcome any obstacle.”
Clapton joined Kennedy and his wife Cheryl Hines for dinner at their home alongside Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills & Nash fame and former Dem Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Stills said he still supports Biden, “I was there as a guest to support Eric Clapton who performed.”

It’s no secret that big corporations own Washington DC. I’m running for president because I want to take their power and put it back where it belongs — in your hands.
On Sept. 30, we report to the FEC our fundraising earnings for the last 3 months. Last quarter, so many of you… pic.twitter.com/t3Ry6n5poA
