Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to attend a fundraiser on the Vineyard on Saturday, August 12.
According to an invitation, Carol and C. Bernard Fulp, Robin Leeds, and Wendell Pierce are hosting the event.
The place and time of Harris’ visit have yet to be disclosed, but preparations are underway for the vice presidential visit.
“We are anticipating the arrival of the vice president this Saturday,” Martha’s Vineyard Airport Director Geoff Freeman said, adding that the logistical work for Harris’ arrival has started.
Freeman referred further questions to White House staff. A member of the White House Press Office has not responded with further details.
Tickets for the fundraiser range from $50 for a guest spot to $10,000 to serve as a co-chair. There are also tickets for supporters at $250, champion at $1,000, and other opportunities.
A spokesperson for the event was not immediately available.
The fundraiser is billed as a “Grassroots Reception with Vice President Kamala Harris,” and will benefit the Biden Victory Fund.
A representative with the Victory Fund has not responded.
It’s not the Vice President’s first trip to the Vineyard. Harris’ sister, Maya Lakshmi Harris, and husband Tony West held fundraising events at their home in Katama, before Harris was elected.
The vice president has since visited the area for both fundraising and family events.
Most recently, last August Harris made a brief stop, appearing at private Democratic National Committee events in Oak Bluffs and West Tisbury.
A visit slated for Memorial Day Weekend last May was canceled following the Uvalde school shooting.
Fundraising for Biden is a waste of good money. He wont be running.
Biden is quite literally already running. He announced his campaign about a year ago. Facts are stubborn things.
“He” wont be running? Due of incarceration? We the people do not want him to go to jail, to just go away. His next best seller will be THE ART OF THE PLEA DEAL (Pre publication price $364.71 + $86.32 S&H, order before midnight and get $2.07 off the S&H
SARC!!!
The Island, is an Island. It’s called Martha’s Vineyard, and it’s an Island. When we’re on an Island, we’re all together on the Island. Looking forward to her public speaking event.
Looking forward to what she has to say because when she speaks she says something. We all need to say something when we speak because that’s truly why we speak, right, to say something. I’m betting on her speaking while here and then she will have spoken.
I love it ! You nailed 🤣
The only question is which kind of dressing should be paired with her usual word salad.
Truth justice and the American way of life.
Certainly not in any conventional sense, such as actually “campaigning.”
We are not all together, andrew is not looking forward to her public speaking event.
Andy is also not on the island.
Jim. I be on the island alright but not full time.
Is that a good or a bad thing?
oh boy–another prediction from our not so local oracle
But he’s consistently inaccurate, Don. Why break a streak now?
Jackie– for some reason, Sam keeps deleting my comments to andy that Biden is actually already running.
He announced his campaign on April 25 th of this year.
Perhaps it has something to do with me mentioning that we don’t even have to wait for andy to be wrong.
Jackie I was inaccurate about Covid and I was inaccurate about Trump winning in 2016. On everything else I am 100 percent correct. On weed, on climate, on dems, on economics and taxes, on Israel and Netanyahu, on the need for Christ—on everything. I am also humble, teachable, and compassionate towards others. Jill has to tell him to step down if she loves him.
andy–
How can you say you were right about climate?
“The warmest eight years have all been since 2015, with 2016, 2019 and 2020 constituting the top three. An exceptionally strong El Niño event occurred in 2016, which contributed to record global temperatures.”
look at the graph. You said Artic and Antarctic sea ice was increasing.
https://public.wmo.int/en/media/press-release/past-eight-years-confirmed-be-eight-warmest-record#:~:text=The%20warmest%20eight%20years%20have,contributed%20to%20record%20global%20temperatures.
You said the “dems” would get their behinds handed to them in 2022
You said they would ruin the country, take our guns, impose Sharia law, limit us to one hamburger a month force us to drive cars we don’t want and ruin the economy– 8 out the 10 leading economic indicators are up since Biden took office. I missed the part where you said Net-and -Ya hoo. Would basically declare himself dictator and kill more Palestinians than ever.
You said “weed” would never be recreationally legal, you said the violent crime rate in major cities is up, that no one was being prosecuted for burning and looting during the Floyd protests, and that Jan 6 was peaceful except for ANTIFA thugs,
You said Putin would not invade Ukraine,
You said they would never have electric planes, and you said Vineyard wind one would never produce power.
And you are anything but humble, teachable and compassionate towards others.
Keller you are fabricating. I said none of those things.
andy– I just want to point out a little inconvenient truth—
Your comment that you “said none of those things” in reply to my long list of things you have gotten wrong.
One of those was that I said you said Vineyard Wind would never happen.
You claim you never said that.
Wrong again–
I don’t know how you can deny your own words.
Let me just remind you of one of your post’s and my reply to it:
ANDREW ENGELMAN August 25, 2021 At 5:51 pm
Dont worry, it aint gonna happen. The cost is too extreme versus the Benefit(pun)…

Andrew– care to put a little cash up on that prediction ?
I am sure you will say that quote from you was taken out of context and wasn’t about Vineyard Wind, anyway..
So here is the story and the full context, complete with all the comments.

I don’t know, andy, perhaps you still think V.W ain’t happening, and it’s just “fake news” , and “sleepy Joe” never actually launched his campaign.
By the way, Sam won’t let me say anything about your offensive
religious comment– perhaps I can sneak in that I am personally
offended.
Is it ok to say I am offended, Sam ?
Wonder who she is bringing with her and if she is coming Voluntarily?
That area is NOT Katama!!
It is the Edgartown Great Plains!!
Such an important distinction, Is that what our native population called it?
Whats on the menu for lunch, word salad ?
She is a bumbling idiot.
No, she will going on at length about voter fraud.
All that Stop the Steal garbage salad.
How do you get tickets?
The comments here parodying Kamala’s rap are serious LOL material. We’ll done!
The problem with the two parties is that neither of them have been developing a next generation of leaders. When I look at the Democrats, I see RFK, Jr., but he is not electable. When I look at the Republicans, I see Ramaswamy, but he is not electable either. If one looks at the country today, neither party has groomed a Commander in Chief. I am sure this is not the first time in our nation’s history that they have found themselves in this state, but it shows a lack of foresight on the part of both parties. We will have a void for a generation.
Very well said, their concern is electability, not suitability .
Hmmm… Anyone running for the Republican nomination who has experience in the job?
Oh, wait, it’s the frontrunner by a wide margin.
