Los Angeles entrepreneurs Paul Scrivano and Daniel Lobell voiced their frustrations with President Biden's focus on re-election rather than tackling crucial issues impacting California. Speaking on "Fox & Friends First," the business owners highlighted the escalating problems of rising crime rates and a surge in homelessness in the Golden State.

Scrivano, a bar-restaurant owner, criticized the President for not addressing the stark realities of Los Angeles, such as the visible signs of distress like graffiti, trash on the streets, and the plight of the homeless population. He expressed disappointment, stating that Biden's visit would not generate much enthusiasm among California residents, except for those who could afford the costly fundraisers.

Lobell, also a business owner and a father, emphasized that Biden seemed out of touch with the struggles of everyday voters. He proposed that if given the chance, he would take the President on a grocery shopping trip to demonstrate the high cost of living in California.

President Biden's schedule includes attending fundraisers in Los Angeles on Tuesday, with an event hosted at media mogul Haim Saban's home and another fundraiser planned in Los Altos Hills in the Bay Area on Thursday. Reports indicate that donors are willing to spend up to $250,000 to support Biden's campaign.

As the President's visit to California involves high-profile fundraising events, some Los Angeles residents like Scrivano and Lobell question whether Biden truly understands and is prioritizing the pressing issues that matter most to the state's voters.
