He'll be attending two events this evening for the Democratic National Committee that are expected to raise as much as $3.5-million.
The first event, at the National Women in the Arts Museum, carries a ticket price of $30,400 per couple. Fifty couples are attending.
The second event, a Tony Bennett concert at the Warner Theater, has tickets going for $100, $250 and $1000. Some 2,000 tickets have been sold.
Both events are said to be sold out.
After President Bush took office, he waited until April 27th to do his first political fundraiser.
