All five living former U.S. presidents – Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George Bush and Jimmy Carter – united onstage together to help raise funds for hurricane victims as part of Saturday's One America Appeal event, which featured a surprise appearance by Lady Gaga.





"The heart of America, without regard to race or religion or political party, is greater than our problems," Clinton told the audience at Texas A&M University.

Donald Trump did not attend One America Appeal, which raised over $31 million, instead offering a video message, "To Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, Melania and I want to express our deep gratitude for your tremendous assistance. This wonderful effort reminds us that we truly are one nation under God, all unified by our values and our devotion to one another."

Lady Gaga made an unannounced appearance during One America Appeal at the 1:50:25-mark of the event. "Now that's what I call an audience," the singer said, looking down at the former presidents.
