Now the vice president is using her entertainment ties not just to raise money but to generate hype and fake cultural waves in the hopes of making her way to the White House.
“We are excited to do all we can to support Vice President Harris’ historic request,” said George Clooney. statement To Hill.
“All the women I know at Disney are overjoyed right now,” says one anonymous industry source. Claimed “It feels like a really exciting moment,” he told The Wrap.

On Sunday, the same day that Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection, Kamala Harris participated in a livestream call with about 40,000 minority women, including many Hollywood professionals, as reported by The Wrap.

Kamala Harris has already landed a big donation from Netflix’s Reed Hastings, who donated $7 million to help her win.
