According to numerous reports, Steven Spielberg, a producer of Hollywood, is carefully working with Joe Biden’s election campaign and is helping with the Democratic National Convention’s planning.
As his partner Dylan Byers pointed out in a blog on X, Puck News ‘ Matt Belloni was the first to record that Spielberg “has been slowly but actively working with the Joe Biden campaign to help arrange the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Chicago.”

Belloni wrote that his involvement with the campaign included “participating in many technique sessions on how to best show the president’s story.”
The statement was confirmed by Deadline and the Hollywood Reporter Friday afternoon, with the Reporter’s Zoe G. Phillips creating Spielberg is” joining the Biden strategy” and Deadline’s Dominic Patten noting he will become “involved carefully” in both the battle and agreement.
Spielberg’s representatives did not respond to remark requests from the outlets, but one” nicely- placed resource” told Deadline the Poltergeist producer “wants to be as good as possible to the leader”.
” He believes this is one of the most important votes in the world’s history”, the source added to the store.
Spielberg has helped a Democrat member before, and this is not his first time participating in a protocol.
” Puck , even reported that Spielberg helped with the 2020 agreement, held virtually at the top of COVID- 19″, Phillips noted. The director, who produced a movie for President Obama’s strategy in 2008, stated that he does not now intend to make a film out of the event lineup for this summer’s events.
Importantly, Biden plan co- head Jeffrey Katzenberg was Spielberg’s erstwhile companion at Dreamworks, and the pair remain friends, per Phillips.
News of Spielberg’s engagement comes as fear has mounted , on the left about the potential for common anti- Israeli and pro- Arab protests at the agreement. Notably, the 1968 convention in Chicago was marred by protests over the Vietnam War. Time has noted an estimated 10, 000 demonstrators took to the streets, and nearly 700 were arrested.
Politico, citing organizers,  , recently reported the number of protesters at the August 19- 22 convention could be 30, 000.
