Biden lands in LA for star-studded, record-setting Downtown eventBiden will share a Downtown L.A. stage with former President Barack Obama, Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

President Joe Biden arrived in Los Angeles on Saturday morning, touching down at LAX as the sun rose, later to be surrounded by stars.

Wearing a black baseball cap bearing the presidential seal, sneakers and a dark blazer with no tie, Biden hustled down Air Force One’s ramp and into his motorcade as dawn broke. Biden’s daughter, Ashley Biden, accompanied him.

With former President Barack Obama rolling in to help buoy the glitzy fund-raiser, Biden was scheduled to share a Downtown L.A. stage with Jimmy Kimmel, George Clooney and Julia Roberts, a big-money Hollywood-style event aiming to reel millions for the president’s re-election campaign. The fund-raiser has already reeled in more than $28 million, making it the biggest fundraiser in Democratic Party history, according to a statement from party officials early Saturday.

That figure overtakes the $26 million Democrats brought in from a fund-raiser in March in New York featuring talk-show host Stephen Colbert moderating a talk between Biden, Obama and former President Bill Clinton.

Pool reports said the president’s motorcade took an an uneventful early-morning ride of some 20 minutes through a largely deserted City of the Angels — perhaps the last traffic-free ride of the weekend. The reports did not mention any high-profile folks joining the president on the ride, just an array of about a dozen staff members.

Biden soared into the Southland from the G7 meetings in Italy.

A White House official said the president did not attend the G7 closing dinner, and only stayed for the entertainment by Andrea Bocelli, because the summit’s schedule was running late. Biden had to leave to be back in U.S. airspace in time for Vice President Kamala Harris to depart for the Ukraine peace conference in Switzerland, the official said.

The media will out number the attendees - the only ones will be on the stage plus a few in the audience to watch the fiasco.

There is the factor of evil as you state, grante but I still think with a lot of these people stupid plays a big part. And lack of a decent education.

I have a sister-in-law who is a retired public school teacher with a masters degree. And I have to tell you the stupid is strong in that one.

I have met and known educated people that are stupid, and uneducated people that are intelligent. You know which ones I prefer.

“ The party of elites”

Actually, the Democrat party today is the party of the elite and of the dependent. The dependent on government money can be for enormous contracts, or it can be for welfare type programs. People whose livelihood does not depend on the government, unless abortion is their main tenant, our largely Republicans.

“talk between Biden, Obama and former President Bill Clinton”

I think it would be fun to watch Clinton and Obama try to make SloJo smart and capable.

Maybe this visit will help put Biden over the top for the critical California vote. He only won by the slim margin of 11,110,250 to 6,006,429 in 2020.

So he flew all the way from Italy and the G7 meeting to get to LA for a fundraiser. How much did that cost?

I think his campaign has to pay the part to LA. Not an expert on it. The SS, etc., would be with him anyway.
