The Hollywood Reporter: Inside the 'Veep' Virtual Reunion That Raised $500K (and Counting) for the Biden Campaign

• The seeds for the virtual Veep reunion that live streamed on Sunday night had been in the works for weeks. Which is why it was very Veep-like that, only days before the cast-wide event, President Trump revealed that he had tested positive for COVID-19.
• "It really upstaged us in a very almost Tom Hanks kind of way," showrunner and executive producer David Mandel tells The Hollywood Reporter.
• Trump was only invoked when summing up the legacy of Selina Meyer: The "second worst president of the United States," said Mandel; Louis-Dreyfus added of her character, "Selina began as somebody who was very self-centered and that focus on herself was completely reinforced by everyone around her. Nobody shut her down ever. Who does that sound like? So that massive ego grew and grew and grew until she absolutely did herself in with her own self at the end of the series."
• Mandel, who took over as showrunner and executive producer for the final three seasons of Veep, was approached about one month ago by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin to hold Sunday's reunion event to benefit the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign. "Anything you donate will be used to ensure that Trump loses Wisconsin, and thereby the White House," read the public invite for the event.
• Reuniting on behalf of Wisconsin, a key state in the 2020 presidential election between Trump and Democratic nominee Biden, Louis-Dreyfus and the cast ended up raising more than $500,000 for the Democratic Party of Wisconsin by the end of the broadcast, and urged fans tuning in to volunteer for the cause. The event live streamed once and required a donation for access (more on that below).
• Moderated by Mandel, Sunday's event included the cast answering fan questions about the series — which wrapped its seventh and final season in May of 2019 — and performing a virtual table read of five deleted scenes, including from the final episode.
• The reunion opened with a pre-taped bit of Walsh reassuming the podium as his press secretary character Mike McLintock to explain the ground rules ("Everyone watching must follow COVID-19 regulations for their particular state") and warn of foul language ahead ("It's kind of what made the show famous").
• As promised, highlights from the gathering included a cast-wide competition to deliver the best Jonah Ryan insult for the character played by Timothy Simons ("Stillborn flamingo," a submission from special guest, and real-life Wisconsin congresswoman, Gwen Moore, was the winning jab); and an expletive-filled plea of electoral wisdom for Wisconsin voters from the duo of Congressman Roger Furlong (Bakkedahl) and his aide Will (Franklin).
• At the end of the night, the Veep star reiterated, "Wisconsin is going to be close, and it’s the best way to get Joe Biden in the White House."

Tom Palzewicz wants Scott Fitzgerald to stop obstructing Wisconsin's Covid-19 response. He wants to go to Washington to do something for everyone, whether they voted for him or not.

Brookfield, WI – CNN reported that Wisconsin ranks third in the nation with new COVID-19 cases. Still, to date, the Wisconsin Legislature led by Scott Fitzgerald has done nothing, except sue the governor for taking appropriate action to contain COVID-19. Democrat Tom Palzewicz wants Fitzgerald to stop obstructing Wisconsin's Covid-19 response.

Palzewicz is running against Senate Majority leader Scott Fitzgerald, who, along with Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, has prevented Wisconsin from moving forward, which is a major contributing factor to the spike in cases.

"They have offered no plan on how to combat COVID-19 in Wisconsin," said Palzewicz. "Instead, they go to court and sue, but for what purpose? Badger Bounce-back was working, yet Fitzgerald went to the Supreme Court to stop it. There is no Republican plan in Wisconsin, in Washington, or from the White House. There is just action against anyone who does want to do something.

"The legislature, Congress, has a solemn responsibility to unify the state and country, to bring about a strategy for fighting this pandemic. Fitzgerald won't debate the issue. He won't even respond to invitations to discuss the pandemic. He responds to nothing. We have been going downhill ever since that terrible decision in the Supreme Court, and we will continue to go downhill under Republican rule.

"As a candidate for Congress, Fitzgerald also does not present any positions, other than he hates Nancy Pelosi and supports Donald Trump. He won't debate, discuss or even respond about key issues that are facing this nation."

Palzewicz believes in open discussion and listing to all positions on the issues.

"Democracy is all about bringing ideas to the table," Palzewicz continued. "There are ideas I don't agree with, but we need to discuss those ideas and see if there are areas of agreement and commonality. Republicans do not seem to want to do this. Mitch McConnell prevents debate in the U.S. Senate, Fitzgerald gavels the Wisconsin Senate without so much as a discussion. This is not democracy. It is authoritarianism. This is not what we're about."

Palzewicz is running to bring democracy back to government. He wants to confront the issues facing us and work with Republicans to solve problems. He believes in airing out viewpoints and debating the issues. Moreover, he has openly welcomed the opinions of voters, both on the right and left.

"I do not want to go to Washington to represent only those who voted for me," said Palzewicz. "I am a Wisconsinite and an American, first and foremost. Government is all about representing the people, not the party. Problems do not get solved by litigation. They get solved by people listening and working towards agreement. Authoritarians do not understand this, nor do they respect it."
