Will there be a Hollywood ending for Joe Biden’s re-election bid? Joe and Jill Biden are heading to Los Angeles this weekend to ask for some big bucks from some of Hollywood’s elite. Lunch Bucket Joe is rubbing elbows with some of the fabulously wealthy Democrats in the Southern California area.

Joe and Jill Biden will attend six fundraising events and meetings between them this weekend in the Los Angeles area. Some big names are expected to open their checkbooks for Biden’s re-election campaign. Never mind his advancing age and physical frailty. Never mind his cognitive decline. Ignore the Biden crime family evidence being produced by Republicans in Congress. Everything is fine. They want to see Biden re-elected rather than end our long national nightmare with the Bidens in the White House.

The campaign is expecting a record amount of money to be raised this weekend.

Some of the events will be public and others private over roughly 36 hours in California. But organizers say Biden should raise more this weekend than in any similar time frame since announcing his campaign in April. He may also potentially take in more than any presidential candidate has in greater Los Angeles this far out from Election Day.

“The pent-up excitement, enthusiasm is unprecedented,” said Jeffrey Katzenberg, a co-founder of DreamWorks Pictures and longtime Democratic presidential fundraiser in Los Angeles, who is one of the Biden campaign’s national co-chairs. “People are excited. They’re mobilized. And they’ve been waiting months to show their support for him.”

Katzenberg was brought on by Team Biden as a national co-chair and that was a smart move. Katzenberg has a huge network of contacts and he has the weight to rally Hollywood. However, are we supposed to believe that people are super excited to come out and show their support for Joe Biden more enthusiastically than they did for, say, Barack Obama’s re-election? Barack and Michelle left the White House after two terms and made a beeline for California and big money deals with Hollywood. C’mon man. That tall tale is too big even for Hollywood.

This weekend’s events are aimed at helping Biden reach a fundraising target of roughly $67 million for the fourth quarter of the year, according to a source close to the president’s campaign who insisted on anonymity to discuss internal numbers.

Biden will attend a Friday night fundraiser in Santa Monica organized by luminaries like Steven Spielberg and Barbra Streisand, comedy director Rob Reiner, recording industry mogul David Geffen, and Shonda Rhimes, the showrunner of “Scandal” and executive producer of “Bridgerton.”

Rocker Lenny Kravitz is performing and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will address the crowd, as will Biden, according to an invitation obtained by The Associated Press. Another fundraising meeting will be held at Katzenberg’s home on Saturday.

I wonder how the writers and actors who were on strike for months feel about America’s “most pro-union” president these days. He was silent during their their strike. He didn’t come and join a picket line as he did with the UAW workers on strike. Maybe he is just pro-union for some, not all Americans.

Katzenberg expects this weekend to kick off more trips out West by Biden for fundraising. Biden has been concentrating on the East Coast. He doesn’t like to travel too far from home. He’s old, you know, and doesn’t do too well with traveling. He has been doing fundraisers in such spots as Boston where he attended a high-dollar event with singer-songwriter James Taylor. There was an event on Wednesday at a hotel near the White House. Easy, peasy, for old Joe.

On Monday he will be in Philadelphia with Governor Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, who may have presidential desires post-2024 election. Biden also plans to attend an upcoming Maryland reception with the young, black Democrat Governor Wes Moore. He hopes Moore can win over young voters this time around. They helped Biden’s 2020 election but this election, their support has waned.

Obama people are holding fundraisers for Biden, too.

James Costos, a former HBO executive who was President Barack Obama’s ambassador to Spain, is hosting Friday’s event at his home. Costos’ partner, Michael Smith, is a celebrity interior designer who helped redesign the Oval Office during the Obama administration.

“It’s time everyone mobilizes themselves and their communities and networks,” Costos said.

Other co-hosts for Friday’s event include Jim Gianopulos, former chairman of Paramount Pictures, and Wendy Schmidt, wife of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, another possible presidential candidate after next year’s election, is also set to attend.

Ticket prices range from $1,000 for general admission to $500,000 to attend at the “chairman” level.

My, my. A $500,000 level for contributions. Joe Biden sure has come a long way from his days in Scranton, eh? With the millions of dollars that are showing up in bank records now for the Biden crime family that they have been collecting off of Joe’s name for years, it looks like his old Lunch Bucket Joe schtick died long ago. The House Oversight Committee shows some big money coming in due to the Biden name and potential access in politics. Looks like Hollywood wants to keep the status quo, even if it means re-electing an 81-year-old man with dementia and too tired to fly across the country.

It’s not like there is anything else for Joe to concern himself with.
