The “White Dudes for Harris” campaign gained a powerful ally in the form of actor Jeff Bridges. During a 3-hour Zoom call, Bridges, known for his iconic role as “The Dude,” voiced his support for Kamala Harris and her bid for the presidency. Joined by other celebrities such as Josh Gad, Mark Ruffalo, and Mark Hamill, the call attracted a staggering 180,000 participants. Bridges, speaking in characteristic laid-back style, emphasized his excitement at the prospect of having a woman President and praised Harris for her passion for women’s rights, environmental advocacy, and commitment to supporting children.
A Massive Fundraising Success
The star-studded Zoom call not only generated buzz but also raised an impressive $3.7 million for Harris’ campaign. This event followed a similar initiative titled “White Women: Answer the Call,” which set a record as the largest Zoom call ever with 200,000 participants and raised over $11 million. These fundraising efforts are part of a broader movement that includes “Win With Black Women” and “Black Men for Harris,” underscoring the diverse support for Harris’s candidacy.
The Rise of “Kamalamentum”
As Kamala Harris’s campaign gains momentum, these grassroots gatherings play a crucial role in connecting supporters and generating enthusiasm. Referred to as the “Kamalamentum” wave by Democrats, these informal meetups are essential for mobilizing voters and building momentum leading up to the election. Harris’s message of unity and progress resonates with a wide range of supporters, from white dudes to black women and men, highlighting her broad appeal across demographic lines.
The “White Dudes for Harris” campaign, spearheaded by Jeff Bridges and other celebrities, showcases the growing support for Kamala Harris in her historic bid for the presidency. Through innovative fundraising initiatives and community-led events, Harris’s campaign is gaining traction and energizing a diverse coalition of voters. As the election draws near, the momentum behind Harris continues to build, driven by a shared vision of a more inclusive and equitable future for all Americans.
