Biden’s Exit: Top Hollywood Donors Offer Support For Kamala Harris

Hollywood’s commitment

The entertainment industry has shown its strong support for Harris, as evident in a recent fundraiser held in Provincetown, MA. This high-profile event was co-hosted by notable figures in Hollywood and managed to raise an impressive $2 million for the Biden-Harris campaign. Additionally, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has publicly expressed her endorsement of Harris as the next President.

Despite some concerns from donors, there are those who advocate for a thorough process in choosing Harris as the candidate. One prominent donor emphasized the value of a thoughtful selection and the potential benefits of a contested race and a national convention.

Changes in strategy

I, myself, haven’t heard anything from Jeffrey Katsenberg, a key player in the Biden-Harris campaign, regarding Joe Biden’s recent decision. Nevertheless, numerous Hollywood figures are eager and prepared to contribute generously. An industry executive shared with me that there is palpable enthusiasm among supporters: “This is a fresh new opportunity, but we’re all in this together to make it a victory.”

James Costos, a previous HBO executive and current U.S Ambassador to Spain, who remains devoted to Biden, believes Harris’ endorsement signifies a fresh start towards reaching the White House in November. He expressed gratitude for past backing, reaffirming their shared goal of securing the presidency.

According to Mathew Littman, a previous speechwriter for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris is expected to make a bigger impact on the entertainment industry than Biden did. He highlighted her robust network, gained through her past roles as California Attorney General and U.S senator, along with her husband being an entertainment attorney. In simpler terms, Littman thinks that Harris will leave a more significant mark on Hollywood due to her background connections and her spouse’s profession in the industry.

Moving forward

I’m absolutely blown away by the ongoing speculation about an open Democratic convention and who might challenge Kamala Harris for the nomination. But you know what? Kamala herself seems unimpressed, dismissing the idea that many politicians would dare take on her formidable campaign. With donations flooding in, both Biden and Harris have been working tirelessly to connect with key supporters from Congress and governor offices. And let me tell you, Harris is determined to earn and win this nomination, leaving no stone unturned as she strives for wide-ranging support.

I, Biden, had originally planned to run for re-election. However, after carefully considering the needs of my party and our country, I have decided it is in their best interest for me to step down and devote all my energy to completing my presidential term effectively.

Role of Hollywood

Damon Lindelof was the initial significant Hollywood figure who urged for donations to stop following President Obama’s subpar debate showing against Mitt Romney on Wednesday night, according to Makarechi.

On the 21st of July yesterday, Lindelof commended Biden’s action and ended his own criticisms or objections. Similarly, Rob Reiner expressed approval of Biden’s selection via social media, mentioning his previous fundraising event with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.

Hollywood political consultant Donna Bojarsky predicts an increase in public enthusiasm for Kamala Harris. Many people seem to have changed their minds about her, recognizing the potential she brings. I assume they will not only show their support emotionally but also financially.

As an obsessed fan, I can’t contain my excitement as I watch Harris’s campaign pick up steam with Hollywood’s support. The stage is now set for a thrilling and competitive presidential race.
