Joe Biden Won’t Fundraise in L.A. Until Actors’/Writers’ Strike Resolved

President Biden is gearing up for an epic battle to retain The White House, however we have realized he is put the brakes on going to a essential space to fill his marketing campaign coffers — Los Angeles.

Sources with direct information inform TMZ … Biden is not going to come to the L.A. space till the actors’ and writers’ strikes are resolved. There’s nonetheless 15 months left earlier than the election, however with strikes that appear to have no finish in sight, it might turn into problematic.

Biden has a protracted historical past of supporting unions, and the Hollywood strikes are not any totally different. He mentioned again in May, “I sincerely hope the writers’ strike in Hollywood gets resolved and the writers are given a fair deal they deserve as soon as possible.”

Here’s how important L.A. and, California is to Biden’s marketing campaign. He raised more cash in CA than some other state in 2020 — $105.5 million — and that represented 21% of cash raised for the marketing campaign.

His spokesperson mentioned earlier this month, “The President believes all workers, including actors, deserve fair pay and benefits,” including, “The President supports workers’ right to strike.”

L.A. County is a big a part of that equation. In 2020 Biden held 20 digital fundraisers, some at $25,000 a head. One fundraiser alone raked in $2.7M. Celebs like Cher, Jennifer Garner, Barbra Streisand and Cyndi Lauper hosted among the occasions.

Our sources say some very wealthy people are already providing their houses for large Biden fundraisers this time round … once more, for $25,000 a pop. But we’re informed, “Nothing has been scheduled. There are no events planned so far, but they will happen when the strikes are over.”

We’re informed Biden feels it is unseemly to lift this sort of cash from the Hollywood group when a lot of business people are struggling.

An business supply with a long time of expertise in many areas of Hollywood is satisfied … this strike might be over by the top of the yr and doubtless earlier than. But the clock is beginning to tick.
