[서울=뉴시스] Reporter Kang Young-jin = The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on the 29th (local time) that neighbors in Los Angeles, Vice President Kamala Harris’ second hometown, are providing great support for Harris’s presidential campaign.

Since becoming vice president, Harris has spent more time in LA than anywhere else in Washington. Last year alone, she spent at least 59 days there, visiting at least once a month.

Harris’s LA neighbors can easily tell he’s in town thanks to the security vehicles he’s seen in. He’s been to LA six times this year.

For Harris, who is from Northern California, the southern city of LA is her second home. The Brentwood area, where Harris’s home is located, is an upscale residential area and is currently a hub for Harris’s campaign fundraising. Harris moved to Brentwood in 2014 after marrying her husband, Emhoff Harris. Emhoff bought the house for $2.7 million after divorcing his first wife. It’s a shabby house compared to the other luxury homes in the area.

Brentwood is where actor James Stewart got married, Marilyn Monroe died, and OJ Simpson was chased by a police car. Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon currently live in the neighborhood.

Whenever Harris comes to LA, he stays at home instead of hotels. He also has dinner at the Hillcrest Golf Course and El Cholo Mexican Restaurant.

For this reason, the Secret Service has set up headquarters near Harris’s home. The headquarters is located in a more upscale residential area than Harris’ home.

Harris raised money for her 2022 campaign at the home of Disney TV executive Dana Walden, a Brentwood neighbor, and rang in the new year in Los Angeles with Walden and “American Crime Story” producer Ryan Murphy on New Year’s Eve.

Walden has been a friend of Harris for decades. His television division includes ABC, which will host the first presidential debate on the 10th.

On the day of the Biden-Trump debate, Harris was scheduled to attend a birthday party for sports and entertainment entrepreneur Casey Wasserman, a major Democratic donor, in LA with his wife. However, after Biden’s crushing defeat in the debate, Harris was unable to attend, and only her husband Emhoff attended.

The next day, he attended the “Pride Garden” event at director Rob Reiner’s home, where three Broadway musical stars, including Idina Menzel, performed. Harris, who had planned to speak briefly while looking at the prompter, ended up speaking for nearly 30 minutes, captivating the audience. He seemed more confident than ever.

About three weeks later, when Biden visited LA to announce his withdrawal from the race, Emhoff was staying there.

Harris’s campaign plans to hold video conferences with entertainment industry representatives in the coming weeks to raise money and garner celebrity endorsements.
