President Barack Obama swooped into Los Angeles Saturday for a whirlwind day of fundraising for Democratic Party causes.
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti was on hand to greet the president as Air Force One touched ground at LAX at around 1 p.m. PT. From there, POTUS made his way to three back-to-back fundraisers in Los Angeles over about seven hours.
First, the president headed to a roundtable discussion at the Pacific Palisades home of “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” director J.J. Abrams and his wife, Katie McGrath. Tickets cost $33,4000 per person and benefited Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
From there, Obama attended a $1,000-per-person concert by Jamie Foxx at the home of Ed and Robin Berman, also in Pacific Palisades.
