Barack and Michelle Obama
Jeffrey Katzenberg, former president of Walt Disney Studios, was also seen at Sunday’s San Francisco fundraiser. The media executive, who was a national cochair for Biden’s campaign, praised Biden for his “selfless” decision to resign from the presidential race and endorsed Harris in an op-ed in The New York Times.
“Again and again, she has been underestimated,” Katzenberg wrote. “Again and again, she has triumphed.”
“The vice president has won almost every election she’s ever competed in. She has spent an entire lifetime winning,” he added. “I couldn’t be more confident that this November will be no different.”
Steve Spinner
Angel investor Steve Spinner, who also previously was a fundraiser for former President Barack Obama’s campaign in 2008, also endorsed Harris along with over 350 other former national security leaders in an open letter.
During Harris’ Sunday fundraiser, Spinner said that the positive reception Harris received reminded him of Obama’s kickoff finance event in 2007, The New York Times reported.
“There was a lot of love in that room,” he reportedly said.
