LinkedIn’s Reid Hoffman, Venture Capitalist Steve Westly play hosts

Kickstarting a bid to surpass his $1 billion fundraising haul from the 2020 election, President Biden is expected to come to Los Gatos and Atherton on Monday for re-election fundraisers co-hosted by longtime Democratic supporters and Silicon Valley luminaries.

At about the same time, GOP presidential candidate and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is expected to get within a few miles of his Democratic rival. DeSantis will be attending a fundraising brunch in Sacramento Monday morning, the same place he recently sent three dozen migrants as part of his ongoing publicity campaign against illegal immigration, and he is also expected later Monday to attend another fundraiser in Woodside.

Just up Interstate 280 in Atherton, Biden will be the guest of venture capitalist and former state controller Steve Westly and his wife, Anita Yu. Tickets for the reception at their home start at $6,600, according to an emailed invitation acquired by the Bay Area News Group.

In Los Gatos, Biden supporter and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, along with Microsoft Chief Technology Officer Kevin Scott and his wife Shannon Hunt-Scott, will be co-hosting another fundraiser for Biden, according to Reuters.

On Tuesday, a third reception in Marin County will be held for Biden by eight tech, climate and private equity entrepreneurs and investors, including Dan Kalafatas, Hadley Mullin, Steve Silberstein and Mark Robinson. Gov. Gavin Newsom is expected to attend.

I left early to avoid the traffic. Any other Freepers see what's going on? Anyone know what neighborhood Hoffman lives in?

I think he lives at the corner of Deep Pockets Blvd. and Rabid Leftist Lane. That is why Biden is there.

I’m sure they screen out recording devices, which allows Biden to be more direct and speak his lack of mind.

Los Gatos, huh. This has been covered before - - -

Good-bye to my Juan, good-bye Rosalita
Adios mis amigos, Jesus why Maris
You won’t have a name when you ride the big air-plane
And all they will call you will be deportees.

A sky plane caught fire over Los Gatos canyon
Like a fireball of lightning, it shook all our hills
Who are all these friends, all scattered like dry leaves?
The radio says they are just deportees.

I lived not far from where the execrable Obamas vacationed on Oahu. It was a night mare. He LOVED cause chaos anytime he wanted. Going for a shave ice in Waimanalo would shut down half the island for hours.

He can attend fund raisers, but not debates.

Seems like he should be putting the logos and names of all the people that are buying him on the side of AF1 and whatnot. Maybe a shirt like in Idiocracy?
