President Joe Biden is Going Hat-in-Hand to Hollywood for 2024 Re-Election Campaign
As President Joe Biden’s job approval ratings sink to the lowest level of his presidency, according to a recent poll, he is going hat-in-hand to Hollywood to raise money for his 2024 re-election campaign.
The president’s approval rating in the poll, conducted by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, has dropped to 48%, the lowest since he took office in January 2021. The survey results are a reminder of the importance of fundraising for the president’s re-election in 2024, and it looks like he is turning to Hollywood to help out.
On April 27, President Biden will be in Los Angeles for a fundraiser hosted by the Motion Picture Association of America, a major lobbying group for the film and television industry. The event is expected to bring in millions of dollars for the president, and is seen as a way to secure support from powerful donors in the entertainment industry.
The fundraiser is part of a larger effort by the Biden administration to reach out to Hollywood and enlist its help in promoting the president’s agenda. During his time in office, Biden has held several events in Hollywood, including a meeting with executives from major film studios in March and a fundraiser at the home of actor and director Ron Howard in April.
The president has made it clear that he wants to strengthen ties with Hollywood, and he has already taken steps to do so. He has appointed a number of entertainment industry figures to his administration, including former Disney CEO Bob Iger as a special advisor on climate change and former DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg as a special advisor on technology and innovation.
Biden is also pushing for an increase in the production of movies and television shows in the United States, and he has proposed a $2 billion tax credit to incentivize production in the country. The president is also working with the film industry to promote his administration’s policies, such as the American Jobs Plan and the American Families Plan.
The president’s efforts to court Hollywood have paid off. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the entertainment industry has donated more money to Biden than any other presidential candidate in the past two decades.
It’s clear that President Biden understands the importance of fundraising for his 2024 re-election campaign, and he is going hat-in-hand to Hollywood to secure support from the industry’s powerful donors. Whether or not the president’s efforts will pay off remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: Hollywood will be a major player in the 2024 election.
