A couple of heavy-hitters in the political world are gracing stages in Los Angeles today: Vice President Joe Biden and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

First up is Biden, who will tour a low-income housing development in South Los Angeles then speak about the progress of the federal economic stimulus package. Also expected to attend are Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa; Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Los Angeles); and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ron Simms.

Later, Schwarzenegger will deliver the commencement address at USC’s 126th graduation ceremony. He will also receive an honorary degree. The event is expected to include 40,000 graduates and guests and will include satellite ceremonies held by 34 USC schools and academic units. The ceremony begins at 9 a.m. Schwarzenegger's address will be webcast live on gov.ca.gov.
