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."

It’s gonna be perrrfect.
I know, it’s very frustrating. The Dems and their media mouthpieces have been pounding on Trump non-stop for FIVE YEARS. And then they have the gall to BLAME HIM for the divisions that they’ve promoted. They’re like arsonists who whine about the smoke from the fires that they started.
Sandra Lee was the best, she always made a cocktail at the end, and easy on the eyes unlike Ina Garten.
Ina, get back in the kitchen and cook. You don’t know a think about politics or Biden’s miserable 40+ years of living high off the taxpayer hog while doing nothing.
When it came to cooking shows The Galloping Gourmet was the beginning and end for me.
I was watching her show one time with my husband,. My husband noticed that she drove up to a delicatessen in a Mercedes Benz. When she left, she got into a BMW.
He backed up the footage, and played it for me....he was right.
Imagine if Ina Garten married Vito daVita
Ah, for the good old days of the extended drum solo. At concerts, it was the excuse to hit the facilities.
Have you ever seen a few of Ina’s little dinner get togethers?
The guys are all either cucks or fairies.
This is no surprise.
The Democrats are the party of MOBS!!! RIOTERS!!! ARSONISTS!!! PERVERTS!!!
She was Andrew Cuomo’s girlfriend.
Back in 2018 when one of her books came out, Ina Garten said the only thing she would serve Trump is a subpoena.
We used to watch the Food Network when it first came out frequently. Now, not so much. They support many leftist causes, including Planned Parenthood.
Sandra Lee was Andrew Cuomo’s girlfriend.
Geoffrey Zakarian backed out of a deal to open a restaurant in Trump’s new luxury hotel, citing then presidential-nominee Donald Trump’s statements about immigrants from Mexico on the campaign trail, stating that “those remarks made it impossible to run a successful dining establishment in the Trump property.” Trump sued him.
John Henson made some kind of remark about Barron, questioning who his real father is.
They all adore Michelle Obama.
She’s always had a girl crush on Julia Child, right down to the CIA part.
Sad & annoyed to hear about this. I’ll stop watching & recording her show, which I like. I will also delete all those shows of hers that I recorded. She lives out there in the Hamptons with the elites.
Social media has really ruined America. I am sure Ina hasn’t changed her politics in the last four, eight, or 16 years. The issue is that now we know.
It used to be fine to have a different political opinion. Now, on both sides it’s a mortal sin.
Yes! Sandra Lee was VERY easy on the eyes!
I don’t know if she lost half her audience, but she lost me. I like the way she is so low key and calm. It’s a nice relaxing show. I’m really sick of all these celebrities being brainwashed by CNN.
Oh gee...She looks thrilled to be with Michelle.
I like her & Jeffrey too. What a shame.
She is one of the few that really inspired me. To try new things and plan nice dinner parties. She had a way of presenting instruction in a non-bi*chef way, such as Martha Stewart. Ina WANTED people to learn and enjoy. Martha wanted to be the queen. Of EVERYTHING.
