Kamala Harris is taking a brief break from wooing swing-state voters to attend high-dollar fundraisers in California this weekend to pad her financial advantage over Republican rival Donald Trump.

Pitched by the campaign as the last chance for Golden State donors to meet with Harris before Election Day, tickets for Saturday’s event at San Francisco’s Palace of Fine Arts and the Los Angeles fundraiser on Sunday top out at $926,600. Those who donate at least $100,000 can get a photo taken with the vice president, while those at the $250,000 level and above can attend a luncheon.

Harris, a former California senator, previously raised $12 million at a high-end fundraiser in San Francisco at the Fairmont Hotel in August. The turnout included tech industry leaders such as LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and politicians like California Governor Gavin Newsom. This is the first fundraiser Harris is attending in her adopted hometown since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race in July.

“Hollywood and Silicon Valley are both big sources of interested political money, and those industries are not exclusively Democratic,” said Jim Newton, a lecturer in the public policy department of the University of California, Los Angeles. Both Harris and Trump are looking to tap California’s prodigious donor base with the election less than six weeks away. The former president attended a Silicon Valley fundraiser earlier in September.

1. Oh shit, I drove past the Palace of Fine Arts this afternoon and noticed the closed streets and police. I wondered why

there were so many cops around. I didn't know Kamala was in town until reading it just now.
