Late-night comedian Jimmy Kimmel is the headliner for an upcoming Democrat event, and the ticket price will blow your mind.
MS NOW contributor Teddy Schleifer shared an advertisement for the event, which lists appearances from high-profile party members such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The reception and dinner will benefit the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, and guest tickets start at a whopping $25,000.

Other available tickets include the “Leader’s Circle” for $44,300, “Event Chair” for $100,000, and “Jeffries 300” for an astounding $310,000.
Listed on the event information is “Special Guest Jimmy Kimmel,” though it’s unclear if he will be giving a performance or just speaking to the crowd.
This event comes as Democrats scramble to best Republicans in the 2026 midterms after an abysmal showing in the 2024 election. Their loss of political identity and financial support has left them with a depleted war chest that looks like they are trying to bolster with fundraisers like this one.

I wonder if ID is required for entry

Do we know what “Jeffries 300” means?

Just like average Joes soliciting $310k from people.

Will billionaire cohosts Lynda and Stewart Resnick be supplying the water for the event…since they own and sell billions of it to the state of CA and ignore the drought restrictions…because they own the Kern Water Bank profiting off the natural resources they hoard?

Take 20 min today and look into the Resnick’s who are co hosting the event. It will tell you all you need to know about who these ghouls are….

Colbert and Kimmel don’t even pretend to be comedians… they’re political operatives https://t.co/EBVV6H4CIK

I’m always in horror of the design decisions made in these political invites. https://t.co/WnpBgyW39p
