A handful of Hollywood elites and top Democrat politicians flocked to a massive campaign fundraiser Monday evening discussing their support for the new presidential nominee Kamala Harris and encouraging their party voters to get out to the polls this November.
The “White Dudes For Harris” zoom conference began Monday evening at 8 p.m., bringing on a flurry of Hollywood liberals alongside major Democrat officials, such as U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper.
Just before the first major actor came out, the Democratic moderator introduced National Director of the Working Families Party Maurice Mitchell, who joked about joining the call as a black man.
“I want to address the obvious, I’m not sure if you noticed, but I am not a white man. Yet, here I am opening up the White Dudes for Kamala call and stranger things have happened,” Mitchell said before explaining his stance for joining the men.
Shortly after, Hollywood elite Jeff Bridges joined the call to discuss his support for the vice president, stating how “beautifully” President Joe Biden “passed the baton” to Harris after withdrawing from the 2024 presidential race on July 21.
“I’m excited, man. I think the fact that Joe has passed the baton so beautifully and Kamala is just so certainly our girl. I can see her being president, I’m so excited,” Bridges said.
“A woman president, man, how exciting! And her championing of women’s rights, I’m for that. And for her stance on the environment and taking care of our children, all of her leadership on that is wonderful and something I can get behind and support,” the actor continued.
Buttigieg then came on to call out former President Donald Trump’s campaign against Harris, while applauding Harris’ campaign theme as “freedom” as he called out the freedoms men gain if the vice president were to win the office.
“Men are also more free in a country where we have a president who stands up for things like access to abortion care. Men are more free when the leader of the free world and the leader of this country supports access to birth control and to IVF. And certainly men like me, and my husband, are more free when we have a president who supports our freedom to get married to who we love,” Buttigieg said.
