US President Joe Biden brushed aside jet lag Saturday, flying straight from the G7 in Italy to Los Angeles to a star-studded fundraiser bringing millions of dollars for his election fight against Donald Trump in November.
The president was joined by Barack Obama, the previous Democratic commander-in-chief, at an event which included remarks by actors Julia Roberts and George Clooney, as well as singing icon Barbra Streisand.
Biden, meanwhile, was hoping to inject star power and hard cash into his battle.
Biden’s shift to US electioneering also marks the start of a more intense campaign phase ahead of November’s knife-edge election.
