The president will attend a Democratic National Committee fundraiser Friday night in New York City and stay overnight to spend time with his daughters, Malia and Sasha, the White House said.

The hip-hop musical, which follows the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton, is one of the hottest tickets in town, taking in $27.6 million in advance sales.
Malia, 17, is reportedly in New York this summer interning on the HBO series “Girls.”
