Biden's Successful LA Fundraising Swing and Departure on Air Force One
Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden raised over $15 million during their fundraising swing in Los Angeles, marking the highest amount raised for a single visit to the city by any president or presidential candidate. The funds were raised through seven events, including private gatherings with high-dollar donors and a Hollywood-centric fundraiser. Biden also made a surprise visit to Norman Lear's home to pay his respects during a shiva for the late television producer. The fundraising trip saw pro-Palestinian demonstrators outside one event, resulting in an unlawful assembly and acts of vandalism in the Westwood area.
