The movement to draft Joe Biden for a third presidential run is picking up steam in Hollywood, with a fundraiser planned in West Hollywood on Wednesday, a person close to the vice president’s team told The Wrap.
In recent weeks, a group of Democratic donors has been stepping up efforts to draft Biden to challenge former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for the nomination. Despite Clinton’s seeming dominance in the Democratic race, particularly among Hollywood liberals, a member of the Draft Biden Committee told TheWrap, “You’d be surprised to know how many people who have supported Hillary have told me they would switch over if Joe Biden announced he was running.”
