Steven Spielberg to Help Plan 2024 Democratic National Convention

Apr 27, 2024

Steven Spielberg‘s next project will not be a movie, with the Oscar-winning director joining the Biden campaign to provide strategy for August’s Democratic National Convention in Chicago, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Reps for Spielberg had no comment on the news, first reported by Puck.

The filmmaker has long supported President Biden, and Spielberg’s friend and former DreamWorks business partner Jeffrey Katzenberg is now a chair of the Biden campaign. In the past several months, Spielberg has attended multiple strategy sessions, offering his insights on how best to tell the president’s story and highlight Biden’s second-term vision at this summer’s convention as he gears up for a November rematch with former President Donald Trump.

Puck also reported that Spielberg helped with the 2020 convention, held virtually at the height of COVID-19. The director does not currently have plans to create a film portion for this summer’s events, though he did produce a film for President Obama’s campaign in 2008.

In December, Spielberg was among the A-listers participating at a Biden fundraising event in Los Angeles hosted by interior designer Michael Smith. Biden departed after a whirlwind few days of schmoozing with an additional $15 million in his campaign war chest.

Spielberg was last in theaters with 2022’s The Fabelmans, which was nominated for seven Academy Awards. He has multiple potential projects in development, including a new take on Frank Bullitt, the character played by Steve McQueen.
