Obama Hosts High-Dollar Fundraiser for Kamala Harris in Los Angeles
The former president's return to the campaign trail aims to bolster Harris's bid for the White House with significant financial support.
- Obama's fundraiser for Harris marks his first campaign event for the vice president, raising money for her campaign, the DNC, and state parties.
- The event, co-hosted by James Costos and Michael Smith, features ticket prices ranging from $50,000 to $250,000.
- Hillary Clinton also hosts a separate fundraiser for Harris in Los Angeles on the same day, signaling a coordinated effort among top Democrats.
- Harris's campaign strategy leverages Obama's popularity while allowing her to maintain individual visibility and avoid direct comparisons.
- Harris has seen a rise in favorability and fundraising success, raising $361 million last month, significantly outpacing Trump's $130 million.
