Following the report, Katzenberg released a statement saying the characterization was inaccurate and that the two had "talked about everything from the convention to new ads."

Internal debate over plans to re-nominate Biden as the 2024 presidential nominee is threatening to rupture the Democratic Party.
Democratic lawmakers and candidates across the country fear that Biden's plummeting support since his disastrous performance at the first presidential debate will have ramifications for down-ballot elections.
Party leaders have been considering plans to nominate Biden as soon as next week, ostensibly due to concerns that the Aug. 17 date for the Democratic National Convention comes after Ohio's ballot deadline.
However, a series of recent meetings and sideline strategy discussions show not everyone in the DNC has resigned to a second Biden nomination.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reportedly talked to Biden over the phone and presented polling that suggested the president's re-election campaign was tanking Democrats' chances on the ticket, according to multiple reports.
"The speaker does not want to call on him to resign, but she will do everything in her power to make sure it happens," one source familiar with the call told the outlet.
