“White Dudes for Harris” Livestream Raises Over $4 Million in Support of Kamala Harris’ Presidential Bid
The “White Dudes for Harris” livestream event held on Monday night made headlines as it raised over $4 million in just three hours in support of Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. The event featured a star-studded lineup of participants from the world of politics and entertainment, including celebrities like Jeff Bridges, Mark Hamill, Misha Collins, Bradley Whitford, Josh Gad, and Josh Groban.
With over 190,000 viewers tuning in to the Zoom call, the unofficial event garnered significant attention and support for Harris. Notable figures like North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, and Michigan Sen. Gary Peters, who are all potential running mates for Harris, also made appearances during the livestream.
In a separate development, Sen. JD Vance, running mate to former President Donald Trump, referred to Harris moving to the top of the Democratic ticket as a “sucker punch,” sparking controversy and debate within political circles. However, a spokesperson for Harris responded by highlighting the vice president’s strong position in polls and dismissing Vance’s comments.
Furthermore, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announced that he has removed himself from consideration as a vice presidential running mate for Harris, stating that it wasn’t the right time for him and his state to potentially be on a national ticket.
In another twist, former President Trump hinted at the possibility of debating Vice President Harris, stating that he will “probably end up debating” her. However, Harris’ campaign spokesperson reaffirmed her commitment to participating in the debate and called out Trump for avoiding direct answers on the matter.
As the presidential campaign continues to unfold, these developments highlight the ongoing dynamics and strategies at play as candidates and their supporters gear up for the upcoming election.
