Organizers failed to release any information about the LA event to media reporters.
Vice President Kamala Harris dropped in to Los Angeles this weekend and topped the bill at a big-money fundraiser in town, though organizers failed to release any information about the event to media reporters.
Singers Alanis Morissette and Halle Bailey were scheduled to perform at the fundraiser sometime Sunday afternoon, according to the Deadline website, which attributed the information to Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, a Harris campaign co-chair.

According to an invitation obtained by Deadline, tickets ranged from $500 per person to as high as $1 million to receive four tickets, attend a reception with Harris, lunch and a photo.
Proceeds will benefit the Harris Victory Fund, which is a joint committee that includes Harris’ campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state Democratic parties.
Harris arrived at LAX on Saturday after speaking for nearly 30 minutes at a sold-out fundraiser at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco where tickets were up to $250,000 each.
She told the gathering that she would restore Roe v. Wade if elected and attacked the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump, over his “concept” for health care and what she described as his lack of plans to meet the needs of the American people, according to media reports.
“For every story we hear of women suffering under Trump Abortion Bans, there are so many more untold,” Harris posted on X, formerly Twitter. “To those women, I say: You are not alone. We see you, and we are here with you.”
While in Arizona Friday, Harris made a high-profile visit to the U.S.-Mexico border. She is expected to host a rally in Las Vegas on Sunday night, with a return to Washington set for Monday night.
“This race is as close as it could possibly be,” she said Saturday to a raucous crowd of donors.
