The 2024 race for the White House is heating up, and residents of Southern California could face a few headaches in the coming days because of it.
Vice President Kamala Harris is in Hollywood to appear on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday, and the two major party nominees, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, are both expected to visit Southern California for fundraisers later this month.
On Friday, Trump will be in Beverly Hills and Newport Beach for campaign fundraising events, with Biden coming for a fundraiser in downtown Los Angeles the next weekend that will also include George Clooney, Julia Roberts and former President Barack Obama.
As the Los Angeles Daily News notes, the candidates will likely be greeted by vocal protests: Trump in connection with his recent criminal conviction and Biden and Harris for their administration’s support of Israel during the war in Gaza.
“Both presidential hopefuls will be seeking to sidestep this negative attention and play up their positive attributes as they pull in campaign cash from wealthy families,” the Daily News added.
