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.

I’ve liked some of Clooney’s work but the latest was Oceans Eleven and that was in 2001. His smug leftism hasn’t drawn me back to watch anything since....oddly. :)

Yeah, he was seemingly OK. A long time ago.

A LONG, long time ago.

That’s what today’s Democrats are. The party of elites.

“Nothing says to struggling Americans, ‘I understand what you’re going through and am ready to help,’ like spending a night schmoozing with the ultra-relatable George Clooney, Julia Roberts and other Hollywood celebrities,” Jessica Millan Patterson, the California Republican Party chairwoman, said in a statement.

It’s pretty sad that grown adults can interact with Pres Tater Head and still be rabid supporters.

Says a lot more about their mental acuity than his.

“””Biden hustled down Air Force One’s ramp”””


I saw the same thing. The Daily Breeze must be a Democrat media.

It's so odd to me that they really can't fathom why people hate them. Then they'll put on an audacious spectacle lilke this.

How many times will they mention "destroying democracy"?

He’s a dying dog drug around on a chain. He is not allowed to do squat. We all know who is really running the show.

That was my thought too. Those long flights and jet lag are brutal for the young and healthy much less this senile, degenerate, corrupt handjob. Fortunately, he’s too stupid to figure out what’s happening.😎

Mean time, Orange Man Great is in Detroit, courting black votes. Be nervous, Dems. Be very nervous.
