Chelsea Clinton hosted her highly-hyped Soul Cycle fundraiser for her mother in New York City on Wednesday afternoon. The $2,700-a-head event, which offered just 60 seats at the popular cycling studio's Tribeca location, was expected to sell out quick while raising some easy money for the Hillary Clinton campaign but was ultimately a flop. Such a flop in fact that in the end some seats were being sold for just $50, roughly the same price it costs to take a regular Soul Cycle class. Helping hand: Instructor Laurie did her best to try and fill bikes by advertising the class on Instagram just two days ago, as bikes were still available (above) CNN reports that Chelsea herself did not participate in the class but did answer questions for guests shortly before they began their stationery ride. She also entered the event, and exited, through a secret entrance to avoid photographers. When asked who she thought the best candidate was on the Republican side she cited Jeb Bush saying he is 'the only voice on the other side that is demonstrating strong American values.' Chelsea also spent time talking about 'how important women's rights are to her and the campaign' now that she is a mother with a second baby on the way with her husband Marc Mezvinsky. The instructor for the event, Laurie Cole, did her best to try and help Chelsea out and fill some of the bikes, posting a flyer for the event on her Instagram page on Tuesday claiming that 'some more bikes were released for this amazing ride.' The fundraiser did draw out a fresh-faced Katie Lee Joel, who emerged after the event looking as if she had barely broken a sweat, and popular Soul Cycle instructor Stacey Griffith. It is not clear if those two women were there explicitly for the fundraiser or as favors because they are a close friend and a colleague with the instructor respectively and there were seats that needed to be filled. The 2pm event drew a few dozen females, many carrying designer bags and wearing trendy SoulCylce clothing, to the Tribeca studio. Sadly Hillary was not able to show up for the big fundraiser as she was out on the campaign trail, but she herself has taken a private spinning class Laurie shared with those in attendance. It was a busy night for Chelsea, who after her Soul Cycle flop had to prepare for another fundraising event for her mom, this one an LGBT cocktail reception hosted by tennis great Billie Jean King and campaign manager Robby Mook, who has spent the past few weeks filing the email inboxes of anyone on Hillary's supporter list with requests for money. This was another $2,700-a-head event that allowed guests to get a photo with Chelsea and was held at the home of Evercore’s Charles Myers. No word yet on how turnout was for that event, but hopefully better than the Soul Cycle class earlier in the day. It is crunch time for the Hillary campaign with just five days until the first votes are cast in the primary election in Iowa. Her opponent Bernie Sanders has been surging recently and in some states like New Hampshire holds a sizable lead over the former Secretary of State. Sanders also met with President Obama at the White House this week.

It was a non-event. Øbama gave an interview that was widely regarded as pro Hildebeest and damning by faint praise Bernie. So this meeting could have been used to correct that impression but it wasn't and instead Sanders had to claim and proclaim Øbama's 'evenhandedness' in the campaign thus far. There are three kinds of people in the world: those that can add and those that can't
" Sanders also met with President Obama at the White House this week. "
