With the Screen Actors Guild reaching a tentative deal, Hollywood political donations are expected to increase. President Biden and other candidates are planning to raise money in Los Angeles, a region that has been avoided due to strikes. Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have faced difficulties in tapping into entertainment-industry donors this year.
Hollywood political donations , sharply stymied by this year's drawn-out entertainment-industry strikes, are expected to spike now that the Screen Actors Guild has reached a tentative deal with the studios. President Biden is widely expected to raise money in Los Angeles in the coming weeks, along with a slew of Senate and congressional candidates who have largely avoided the region because of the writers' and actors' strikes.
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, a Californian with longtime relationships with entertainment-industry leaders, have been largely unable to publicly tap these donors this year. Harris in May even pulled out of her first public appearance in her home state after she and Biden announced their reelection campaign — an MTV mental health awareness event in Carson — because of the Writers Guild of America strike. Attending a glitzy industry fundraiser would have been even more fraught — Biden or Harris would have almost certainly had to cross a union picket line — an anathema in Democratic politics, where support from organized labor is essential
