Universal’s Jeff Shell will host a fundraiser for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign Saturday, in what is expected to draw heavily on entertainment industry supporters.

Sources said that Harris will appear at the event after one earlier in the day hosted by David Cooley, the CEO and founder of the Abbey, the West Hollywood eatery and nightclub.

The events mark the first official fundraisers by a 2020 Democratic candidate. Harris and other candidates have been contacting industry figures to draw support, even as a number of bundlers say that they want to wait a bit to see who enters the race.

Shell has been an active fundraiser in recent cycles. Last year, he hosted an event at his home for the reelection campaign of Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), and former President Barack Obama was one of the headliners.
