Ok, tried this:

<?php 
 
$today = date('MM d, yy');
 
$args = array (
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'meta_query' => array(
        array(
            'meta_key'  => 'event_date',
            'compare'   => '>=',
            'value'     => $today,
        ),
         array(
            'meta_key' => 'event_date',
            'orderby' => 'meta_value_num',
            'order' => 'ASC',
            'cat' => '2'
        )
    ),
);

    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
    
    
    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
            
            $the_query->the_post(); ?>

But it does not return the correct result. It shows all the events.
