Biden’s support for Israel has damaged his support from his far-left base and even some elements of the Democratic Party.
However, Biden hasn’t shied away from his Israel support despite opposition from his party.
Those in attendance at the fundraiser included:
Gov. Gavin Newsom
Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi
Steven Spielberg
Lenny Kravitz
