Biden Held Fundraiser In LA
President Joe Biden touched down in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, arriving via Air Force One straight from the G7 Summit in Italy’s southern Puglia region. During the summit, Biden met with world leaders and Pope Francis. The President’s visit to Los Angeles is primarily to attend a campaign fundraiser aimed at bolstering his re-election bid.
The fundraiser will take place at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday evening. The event promises to be a star-studded affair, with former President Barack Obama, Hollywood luminaries like George Clooney and Julia Roberts, and late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel, who will emcee the event.
The Left and the media (but I repeat myself) are working overtime trying to debunk this- claiming that Obama didn’t lead Biden off stage. Unfortunately for them, it’s literally on video.

Due to the high-profile nature of the fundraiser, residents of Los Angeles are advised to avoid the downtown area on Saturday night to steer clear of potential traffic disruptions. The Secret Service has announced that Biden’s motorcade route will not be disclosed for security reasons, but several street closures and parking restrictions will be implemented.
Protests are also expected in the area. Jewish Voice for Peace – Los Angeles, a group advocating for an embargo on arms sales to Israel, announced their intention to protest outside the fundraiser.

This downtown L.A. event is likely to be Biden’s final stop in Southern California before the November election. Former President Donald Trump, Biden's presumptive Republican opponent, recently held a similar fundraising event in Newport Beach.
California, a traditionally blue state, is not typically a battleground in presidential elections but remains a vital area for fundraising for candidates across the political spectrum. The state has not voted for a Republican presidential candidate since George H.W. Bush's victory over Michael Dukakis in 1988. This underscores California's importance in the financial landscape of national campaigns.
BIDEN: We have the "highest unemployment" in 50 years!
