Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden wrapped up a weekend of fundraising in Los Angeles on Sunday, with a record amount raised.
More than $15 million was raised through the weekend, including for the Biden Victory Fund, said campaign co-chair Jeffrey Katzenberg, founding partner of WndrCo. That is the most raised for a single visit to Los Angeles of any president or presidential candidate, he said.
It also surpassed the amount raised by Barack Obama in May, 2012, when Obama headlined a fundraiser at the home of George Clooney and co-hosted by Katzenberg. That fundraising trip brought in almost $15 million.
Through the weekend, Biden and the first lady headlined seven events, including private gatherings with high-dollar donors and a Hollywood-centric fundraiser on Friday evening at the Holmby Hills home of James Costos, the former U.S. ambassador to Spain, and designer Michael Smith. That event included co-chairs such as Steven Spielberg, Shonda Rhimes, Rob Reiner, Peter Chernin and Jim Gianopulos, as well as developer Rick Caruso and the Human Rights Campaign PAC.
“To do this a year before an election is really just exceptional and it demonstrates the tremendous amount of support and enthusiasm for the president’s re-election,” Katzenberg said.
In between the fundraisers and private events, Biden also made a surprise visit to Norman Lear’s home, where his widow, Lyn, was having a sitting shiva for her late husband, who died last week at age 101.
Katzenberg said that on Saturday, after the president had attended a private event at his home, Biden said that he had heard there would be a shiva for Lear and asked if it would be OK to go. Biden said that he would really like to go pay his respects.
