millions of dollars and crucial A-list supportthey rely on.Tinseltown is arguably the most important and influential Democratic stronghold in the country, but The Post can reveal thefury behind the scenes as a wealth of power players and A-listers feel they have been conned into raising cash for ailing President Biden’s re-election without being told the true extent of his decline.Not only are people moving their money and putting their funding into congressional races, but the Biden campaign is struggling to find ‘surrogates’; celebrity supporters to stump for the President, according to well-placed sources.Biden has so far received no public support from big hitters such as Beyoncé,Jay-Z and Taylor Swift, who all endorsed his 2020 campaign.“You really do need the celebrity factor, you need Hollywood,” said one former Obama campaign staffer, “That’s how we get the youth vote.
