Clooney, Hollywood line up behind Harris as celebrity endorsements and cash pour in
SUMMARY
Hollywood Democrats are rallying behind Vice President Kamala Harris as she gears up for the 2024 presidential election. Actor George Clooney, who previously urged President Biden to step aside, praised Biden's decision and expressed strong support for Harris. Clooney, along with other celebrities like Damon Lindelof, Jamie Lee Curtis, Cardi B, Shonda Rhimes, and Barbra Streisand, have publicly endorsed Harris, with some resuming donations to her campaign. A fundraiser hosted by Clooney and Julia Roberts in June raised over $30 million. Harris made her first campaign headquarters visit to the tune of Beyoncé's "Freedom," signaling a start bolstered by celebrity backing and heavy financial contributions.
