This here is the one,\u201d Harris told the crowd at the JW Marriott hotel in downtown Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tShe received three standing ovations during her nearly half-hour of remarks. That came when she mentioned her debate with <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" id=\"auto-tag_donald-trump\" data-tag=\"donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a>, then when she pledged to sign legislation restoring Roe vs. Wade, and then when she told the crowd, \u201cLet me be clear. We are going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tToday\u2019s gathering was a mix of big donors willing to pay almost $1 million to be there and those shelling out just $500, with price levels sold out as of this morning. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAbout 1,500 people were packed into a hotel ballroom for the event and seated around a simple stage with the Harris-Walz logo and a large blue curtain as the backdrop. As Deadline exclusively reported on September 28, Alanis Morissette and Halle Bailey were booked to perform at the event. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAs the VIPs met the VP privately for a photo line, Emmy winner and Oscar nominee <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/sterling-k-brown\/\" id=\"auto-tag_sterling-k-brown\" data-tag=\"sterling-k-brown\">Sterling K. Brown<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/keegan-michael-key\/\" id=\"auto-tag_keegan-michael-key\" data-tag=\"keegan-michael-key\">Keegan-Michael Key<\/a> were among the speakers this afternoon. \u201cThis is the most important election of our lifetime, for real,\u201d Key said in remarks before Harris spoke.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tOther high profile attendees included campaign co-chair Jeffery Katzenberg, Universal chief <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/donna-langley\/\" id=\"auto-tag_donna-langley\" data-tag=\"donna-langley\">Donna Langley<\/a>, Stevie Wonder, Demi Lovato, Jessica Alba, <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/lily-tomlin\/\" id=\"auto-tag_lily-tomlin\" data-tag=\"lily-tomlin\">Lily Tomlin<\/a> and <em>Watchmen <\/em>boss and longtime Democratic donor <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/damon-lindelof\/\" id=\"auto-tag_damon-lindelof\" data-tag=\"damon-lindelof\">Damon Lindelof<\/a> and spouse Heidi. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tIn a guest column for Deadline on July 3, Emmy winner Lindelof was the first major Hollywood donor to publicly call for President <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/joe-biden\/\" id=\"auto-tag_joe-biden\" data-tag=\"joe-biden\">Joe Biden<\/a> to step aside after his debate debacle with Donald Trump on June 27 on CNN. The ex-<em>Lost <\/em>showrunner was soon followed by the likes of Rob Reiner and George Clooney as donations dried up for the campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHarris arrived at the hotel earlier in the afternoon, to attend a reception and photo line for high-dollar donors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tAlso spotted in the ballroom were a smattering of agents and industry publicists, including Disney\u2019s Kristina Schake, ex-WBTV spokesperson Jeff Tobler, Alison Rou, Scott Rowe, AppleTV\u2019s Rita Cooper Lee, CAA\u2019s Michael Mand and Kelly Bush Novak, as well as attorneys including <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/gloria-allred\/\" id=\"auto-tag_gloria-allred\" data-tag=\"gloria-allred\">Gloria Allred<\/a>. On the political side, figures such as former California Governor Gray Davis, Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA) and Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) were there. Padilla also spoke, as did House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-CA).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThere also was heavy security, with attendees greeted by armed Secret Service agents amidst various checkpoints at the DTLA venue<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tStarting just after 2 p.m. PT, today\u2019s fundraiser was always expected to be a big draw, as Harris has yet to headline an event in her adopted hometown since launching her presidential run on July 21. In fact, the event venue was just around the corner from where a clearly exhausted POTUS appeared with ex-president Barack Obama and Jimmy Kimmel on June 15 at the Peacock Theatre. That was the 81-year-old Biden\u2019s last L.A. visit before the viability of his candidacy before a crisis for the Dems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThat\u2019s a far cry from the enthusiastic campaign Harris and running mate Governor <a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/tag\/tim-walz\/\" id=\"auto-tag_tim-walz\" data-tag=\"tim-walz\">Tim Walz<\/a> of Minnesota are now conducting in what remains a tight race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThat said, Harris gave a bit of a warning not to get overconfident. \u201cThis race is as close as it could be and we are the underdog, friends,\u201d she said, per a pool report. \u201cAnd I\u2019m running like the underdog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tDuring her speech, Harris also went through her economic plans, which she outlined in a speech to the Economic Club of Pittsburgh earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cI am a devout public servant, and I am a capitalist,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tJetting in on Air Force Two last night from San Francisco, where she also headlined a fundraiser, the VP decamped at her and Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff\u2019s Brentwood home before whipping downtown for the fundraiser. With just over 30 days left before Election Day, the vice president was scheduled to head directly to LAX and fly to Las Vegas for a rally this evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThat said, with the huge sums that have been raised by Harris\u2019 campaign since she announced, there has been increasing focus among donors on down ballot races. With Democrats just a handful of seats of reclaiming the House majority, races in California and New York could determine if Hakeem Jeffries becomes the next Speaker. Congressional candidates likely will be seeking a photo or two with Harris, as she is expected to carry California by a wide margin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHarris\u2019 campaign events come as Walz prepares to debate Trump\u2019s running mate Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Tuesday in their first and only match up. Coming off a very successful debate performance against Trump on Sept. 10, Harris has been challenging the ex-president to meet her for a second round on CNN Oct. 23. Trump has so far refused.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tThe Los Angeles and San Francisco events raised money for the Harris Victory Fund, a joint committee of her campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state parties.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/2024\/09\/kamala-harris-hollywood-fundariser-1236103029\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: (UPDATED from original 3:54 PM post) Hollywood figures made a big showing this afternoon as Vice President Kamala Harris made her first appearance at a Los Angeles fundraiser since &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=108689\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8629],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108689","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-u-s","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108689","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108689"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108689\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108689"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108689"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108689"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
