Exclusive: like Hakim Jeffrez Trips to Los Angeles for a Collect large donationsA number of Hollywood donors reside on the margin out of fatigue, frustration, and even fear of the Democratic Party’s ability to stand on Donald Trump.
“I am not interested in, skip it,” said one of the DEM examination writer, which can usually be reliable about the JeffRies event “on Wednesday hosted by Hope Warschaw.
“Democrats are in the middle of the period, wonderful. But this year, they are blowing against Trump now,” added the producer of the party’s leadership, its opposition to chaos and the return of Donald Trump to the White House. “Many of that on Hakim, Shomer, Pelosi and the rest of them.”
On the West Coast last month to speak with Silicon Valley Democrats, collecting donations for tonight has tickets ranging from $ 10,000 to $ 100,000. With the man who will be a president accompanied by Representative Ted Liu (D-CA) and Chairman of the Democratic Congress Campaign Committee, Deputy Susan Delepine (D-WA), all the revenues collected to the Jeffrez Fund will go, which hand over the money to DCCC and others.
The reliable ATMs for Democrats, and some donors in Hollywood are disappointed as the party, or rather, over the past two months.
“Why is there no plan, there is no strategy besides appearing on MSNBC?” Another supporter of Tinseltown. “Trump said what he would do, even if they think only half of it could happen. They should be ready, they must protect people, veterinarians, from Trump and Musk.”
Indeed, according to a number of sources with the deadline, the usual suspects appear not only for a democratic event in New York with activist Warsaw tonight in Los Angeles, but a number of them also rejected calls for the most exclusive prison dinner that Jeffrez set for this evening.
In addition to the feeling that the Democrats in Congress lack fighting and the backbone against the agenda of the hard right project 2025 and Elon MuskDog’s attack on the federal bureaucracy, many good -efficiency donors say they “feel betrayal” in the 2024 party campaign.
They told us [Kamala] Harris will win, he told us that they had the voices, then they lost each state of one swing, “the major propaganda with a number of customers who were active in the Harris/Walz campaign told us the deadline.
On the other hand, James Costus, a collection of donations and a democratic activist for a long time, said that there have been many unprecedented and strategic planning calls with party leaders, including Jeffrez and Chairman of the National Democratic Committee Ken Martin. He said that the leaders gave an insight into what they were doing behind the scenes publicly and publicly, adding that he was happy with the approach of “warming engines.”
“Democrats finally play a multi -dimensional chess game, and everything is played not at the” General “stadium. “Democrats who complain of playing a spectator. The complaint of the media is not how we win. This is a losing position.”

In the Senate, the minority leader’s decision last week Chuck Shomer (D-Ny) to vote for the Republican decision continuous to avoid closing the government Wide sarcasm And disbelief – even by Trump himself. In the end, 10 Democrats with Republicans voted for measures that allowed the continued decision to depth to move forward.
Amid invitations to the proverbs of a delegate. Alexandria Okasio Cortez (D-Ny) for the start of the initial race in 2028 against the four Shomer and more Democrats who publicly ask Senator, the 74-year-old step down, Jeffrez is in a more difficult position-with donors, voters and their elected Democratic colleagues.
This week, when Shomer made a diluted media tour of his latest book, Jeffrez confirmed on Tuesday that the New York residents spoke during the weekend about their different opinion on GoP CR and moved forward. “On Sunday, we had a good conversation about the path forward, especially with regard to making sure that we are all talking with one voice in an attempt to prevent these medical aid discounts from enacting the law,” Jeffrez said at the Brooklyn event on Tuesday.
“The conversation is cheap and easy,” one of the donors in the industry responded to the words of Jeffrez. “I want to see them take the battle to Trump, not just.” The initiatives such as daily democratic argument do not seem to apply to many voters or donors.
“It is a joke,” the donor said frankly. “A bad joke, not funny or effective.”
Sources to collect donations said that they expect the JeffRies event be good, given the activity of Warshao for a long time in the party and that the donor circles in Los Angeles go beyond those in the entertainment industry.
At this stage in previous presidential races, there is usually a fair degree of what is called donor fatigue, especially after losing the bite. There is also one effect of the destroyed January fires, one of the worst disasters that reach the region, where many donors focus on recovery or rebuilding their homes.
“I think people in the entertainment industry are very frustrated with what is going on in the capital,” said Matthew Litman, a partner in Holette who leads a group of creative professionals who participate in the democratic policy called the working group.
“The only thing the Democrats do not do is correspondence around the clock throughout the week,” said Lentman, who spoke at the Democratic Parliament Issues Conference in Virginia last week.
He said: “You will not make people excited unless they see that you are fighting.”
Jeffrez was registered for his gathering to vote for financing, and he admitted that Shomer was concerned that the closure of the government would threaten to cut the federal judiciary budget, as Democrats see some success in preventing Trump’s actions. But Litman said that the Democrats indicated that they would launch a budget battle and “this did not happen.”
However, he indicated that it is important not to fall into panic. “Instead of following Elon Musk and Trump. Who should call every day, we are chasing the Democrats.”
He pointed out that the elections in Virginia and New Jersey later this year and the average next year, and the possibility that the Republicans will try to defend their specialization with an unpopular president and his colleague, Musk.
“Donrod Gifford is now a strategic expert in ELROD GIFFord. Donors and activists do not sit at their hands.”
“I think they are looking forward to being inspired by a message and a leader,” he said. “This will not be an easy time” to raise money.
He said: “This will be the stage of reconstruction at all, and we will have to rebuild confidence at every level.” “This will require some real persuasion for people that the party is to fight.”
