190K Participants and Celebrity Support Helps “White Dudes for Harris” Raise Over $4M

On Monday evening, the “White Dudes for Harris” initiative raised over $4 million, drawing more than 190,000 participants and 150,000 new group members.

Organized by Democratic activists unaffiliated with Harris’ campaign, the call featured celebrities like Jeff Bridges, Mark Hamill, Bradley Whitford, Josh Gad, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Paul Scheer, Lance Bass, and Josh Groban. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and filmmaker J.J. Abrams each pledged to match $50,000 in donations.

This event is part of a broader demographic-focused mobilization for Harris, following President Biden’s withdrawal and endorsement, which saw 40,000 people join a “Win With Black Women” call.

Just 99 days before Election Day, a fundamentally new race is taking shape with new candidates, a new issue focus and a new outlook for both parties. Harris is smashing fundraising records and taking over social media. Republicans are fearful and frustrated as they struggle to accept the new reality that Trump’s victory is no sure thing.
