Barack Obama To Headline Los Angeles Fundraiser For Kamala Harris

Former President Barack Obama will headline a Los Angeles fundraiser next week for Kamala Harris.

The September 20 reception will be hosted by James Costos, U.S. ambassador to Spain under Obama, and designer Michael Smith.

Costos and Smith have been longtime Democratic donors and hosted the first Los Angeles fundraising events for Joe Biden’s 2020 and 2024 campaigns.

Tickets to the event range from $50,000 to $250,000, per an invite obtained by Deadline. Proceeds will go to the Harris Victory Fund, the joint committee that raises for her campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state parties.

Harris herself is expected to headline at least one Los Angeles event before the election.

Also on the calendar: A September 26 reception for the Harris Victory Fund featuring Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump will be in Los Angeles on Friday for a round of fundraising, with the hosts yet to be disclosed for that event.
