Topline:
Vice President Kamala Harris is scheduled to land in Los Angeles Saturday afternoon and attend a fundraiser for her campaign on Sunday evening, according to press reports.
Where will the event be: The fundraiser location has not been released, so brace for traffic and road closures related to Harris's motorcade anywhere around town.
Any guesses?: Though she hasn't confirmed she'll be staying there, Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff keep a residence in Brentwood.
The backstory: Harris has been campaigning in nearby states, including in Arizona. That's where she was yesterday as she called for tighter asylum restrictions at the U.S.-Mexico border. This weekend's stop in Los Angeles is the first since she became the Democratic presidential nominee.
When she's leaving town: Harris likely will be out of town by Sunday evening, as she's scheduled to attend a campaign rally in Las Vegas later that night.
