President Biden and Jill Biden, the first lady, are coming to town.

The Star has confirmed that an “afternoon reception” with the Bidens is to take place on Saturday in East Hampton, though its exact time and location is being kept under wraps for guests only.

According to an invitation, the host committee includes Barry Rosenstein, a hedge fund manager, and his wife, Lizanne; Stacey Mindich, a Tony Award-winning Broadway producer, and her husband, Eric Mindich, who leads a private-sector investment company; Nicole Fox and Michael Fox; the actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, and Tracy Pollan and Michael J. Fox, also well-known actors.

Tickets to the fund-raiser, which Bloomberg News described as Biden’s “sole East End swing” before the November 2024 election, ranged from $3,300 to $250,000.

East Hampton Town Police Chief Michael Sarlo referred questions about public safety and police presence this weekend to the White House, which then referred a reporter to the Biden campaign. No additional information was available by press time this week, either about the visit’s effect on East Hampton traffic or about the Bidens’ other stops on the East End.

President Biden and his opponent, former President Trump, are set to debate tonight at 9 Eastern time in Atlanta. The debate can be watched on CNN and the streaming network Max.
