California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s in the race for California governor, appeared at a Manhattan fund-raiser Wednesday — co-hosted by Bravo’s Andy Cohen — before heading to an East Hampton event Friday. The $5,000-per-couple dinner was held at the home of Liz Robbins and former WABC anchor Doug Johnson.

Sunday in Sagaponack, Benjamin Ringel is hosting a brunch for New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker with tickets going for up to $5,400 per person.

Meanwhile, Lisa Rosenblum will host an East Hampton brunch Aug. 19 for Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin and New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. (There will also be an area cocktail event with Baldwin the night before.)

... Democratic California senator star Kamala Harris was hitting the Hamptons to meet with power players including top execs from Citigroup and PepsiCo. According to a source, pols are attending fund-raisers — but having fewer private one-on-one meetings.

[question everything]

1. Did not knoe that Harris is a star

And Newsom? Shouldn't he first serve as a governor?

This is the problem with term limit in California. As soon as the candidates win the office, they start thinking of the next one instead of simply doing their jobs.

2. It must be killing Ivanka and Jared to know they can't attend any of these parties.
