Ina Garten is raising money — and a glass — for Joe Biden's presidential bid.
On Thursday, the Food Network star will be interviewing the former Vice President's wife Dr. Jill Biden for Cocktails and Conversation, an online fundraising event for the campaign.
Though the Barefoot Contessa host used to be a White House nuclear budget analyst in the Jimmy Carter administration, she has mostly shied away from political statements (besides joking that she would serve President Donald Trump "a subpoena" for dinner) during her career as a culinary star. "I'm not political," Garten tells PEOPLE. "I think if you research you'll find I've supported political programs privately but I've never been really public about it—but sometimes you just have to do it."
"As a country, we need to pull this together. We need to stop being divisive and be positive and supportive and collaborative," she adds. "[Biden] is a guy who's been in Congress for decades and has a reputation for working across the aisle, and I think that's exactly what we need right now."

The lifestyle guru will be also providing a signature drink for the event, which requires a minimum contribution of $250 to attend. Guests will be given the recipe for the cocktail ahead of time, and they're calling it a "Winning Ticket Watermelon Cosmopolitan."

Look, Fat, here’s the deal, here’s the deal...
I hope this backfires, miserably, for this old bat.
I notice that restaurants in the Hamptons/Sagharbor are open, for indoor seating, while those in NYC just have to suck it up.
I can not believe these idiots can’t honestly see that the news media is who is dividing this country Trump has not a damn thing to do with the division!! They have been SCREAMING racism for decades when there is NO RACISM!!! YET Trump is the one dividing the country!!
Hampton elite.
....Trump has not a damn thing to do with the division!! They have been SCREAMING racism for decades when there is NO RACISM!!!...
= = = = =
But, but.....Ina says Joe’s been working so hard, for everyone, in his 49 years (half century) in DC.
They can’t even deal with REALITY, because they live in a fantasy land.
17 minutes long. I’ll never forget that. (I did look it up to be sure I still remembered correctly. Yep...17:05. LOL)
Her recipes have always been excellent in our experience.
She should just shut up and cook - instead of alienating half of the people who have enjoyed her brand.
precisely why he is a bad choice.
Just sent 3 of her cookbooks to Goodwill. Should have just burned them.
I’ve always loved her and have all her cookbooks. They are excellent. And I love Jeffrey! I’m with you, I wish she would just shut her pie hole and bake pies!
A number of years ago this skunt denied a “make a wish” kid her time of day. The back lash was swift.

“We need to stop being divisive,” said Neville Chamberlain to Adolf Hitler.
“You are so korrect, mein herr,” he replied. “After all, what harm can I do?”
Hampton snob. Her being a leftie doesn’t surprise me at all.
Garten is ex-CIA and her husband career State Department apparatchik.
I always thought that witch was a Leftie.
What a PHONY. She doesn’t say one word that sounds like a normal person. She is always looking down her nose at anyone who “isn’t from the Hamptons, Dahling.”
PS Her recipes are cumbersome and tasteless.
I said Goodbye to her 15 years ago.
She kept saying she worked for Reagan just to keep her audience...she didn’t fool me. Leftie all the way.
I never cared for her either her recipes were very cumbersome I prefer much simpler recipes which there are MANY with great flavors!! I NEVER had much appreciation for her personality either always came off rather snooty!! There are so many other of FOOD Network personalities that are far better than her!!
I know!
I got the impression that she thought she was better than all the other chefs on the channel.
Not someone you would want to have a martini with, if you get my meaning.
Time for one of those right now and then beddie byes.
Good night, Kit.
