White Dudes For Harris Draws $50,000 Match From J.J. Abrams & Support Of Jeff Bridges, Mark Hamill And Other Hollywood Figures
deadline.comA White Dudes for Harris online rally raised more than $3.3 million for Kamala Harris‘ campaign, as a mix of vice presidential hopefuls, labor leaders and Hollywood celebrities sought to capitalize on the new Democratic enthusiasm with a bit of a twist.
On the You Tube event, J.J. Abrams chipped in a $50,000 match, while figures like Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Josh Groban, Bradley Whitford, Sean Astin and Josh Gad appeared.
