Vice President Joe Biden's Motorcade Routes to Avoid Today

Vice President Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton will both be in Los Angeles today, and police are advising commuters to avoid certain routes.

LOS ANGELES, CA — Vice President Joe Biden will speak at a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee fundraiser Thursday, which means traffic headaches during the evening commute.

Biden will make a Las Vegas appearance at a Hillary Clinton campaign event and then head to Los Angeles to speak at a Southland DCCC fundraiser at 7:15 p.m. at an undisclosed private residence.

At the same time, Clinton will be in the Beverly Hills area for the last major Los Angeles area fundraiser of her campaign. Her Beverly Hills fundraiser will be hosted by Casey Wasserman, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Haim Saban and will feature a performance by Elton John.
