Jeff Bridges, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, West Wing actor Bradley Whitford, NSYNC’s Lance Bass, Star Wars star Mark Hamill and singer Josh Groban were among the big names who joined the 60,000 on the call.

Members accused Elon Musk of ‘election interference’ when the event where Donald Trump was frequently attacked was suspended on X.

Inside the ‘White Dudes for Harris’ giant Zoom call with list of male celebrities including Jeff Bridges and Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Actor Jeff Bridges addressed a ‘White Dudes for Harris’ fundraising event geared toward white men supporting the vice president,

He sang her praises on Monday night, before channeling his iconic role as ‘The Dude’ in 1998’s ‘The Big Lebowski,’ declaring, ‘As the Dude might say, `That’s just my opinion, man.'” (The original line was “That´s just, like, your opinion, man.”)

The call lasted more than three hours and organizers said it attracted 180,000-plus people who donated more than $4million.

It was the latest in a series of Zoom gatherings to raise money and rally support among tens of thousands of supporters for Harris, after President Joe Biden announced he was leaving the presidential race and endorsing her.

The ‘white dudes’ Zoom event also featured appearances from actors Mark Ruffalo, Mark Hamill and Bradley Whitford, who deadpanned about so many white male speakers being ‘a rainbow of beige.’

Joseph Gordon-Levitt was also on the giant call that was briefly shut down by X, sparking accusations of election interference.

Harris to campaign in Atlanta with Megan Thee Stallion and Stacey Abrams

Kamala Harris will tap Stacey Abrams to help her win the state of Georgia, having the failed gubernatorial candidate join her at a rally in Atlanta on Tuesday.

Abrams, who is a fervent defender of the vice president, will be at Harris’ side alongside the state’s Democratic Senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

‘ATL HOTTIES SEE YOU TOMORROW,’ the singer wrote on her instagram.

Tuesday marks Harris’ first appearance in the battleground state since she announced her presidential campaign and her 15th visit since becoming vice president.

Georgia is seen as a critical win for Harris in the 2024 race, part of a group of sunbelt states Democrats believe she can carry in addition to the Midwest states like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan that make up the so-called ‘blue wall.’

‘We have multiple pathways to 270 electoral votes. The Vice President is strong in both the blue wall and in the Sun Belt and we are running hard in both,’ Harris’ battleground states director Dan Kanninen said on a call with reporters on Monday.

Trump reveals heartbreaking detail about Melania and his attempted assassination – and the proof that she DOES love him

Donald Trump described how Melania Trump heartbreakingly watched the attempt on his life on live television in a new interview.

Trump miraculously survived the assassination attempt by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks on July 13.

He was asked by Laura Ingraham how his wife Melania experienced the traumatic day from home.

‘She was watching,’ he said. ‘She was watching live. It was all over the place. It was on television.’

Trump added that his wife is unable to even speak to him about that horrible day, though he’s able to see it as a sign she truly cares for him.

Donald Trump or Kamala Harris? Veteran forecaster who has predicted nearly every presidential winner for 40 YEARS reveals which candidate is on course to win

A forecaster known as the ‘Nostradamus’ of presidential elections has revealed who is currently best placed to win the White House in November.

Professor Allan Lichtman of American University has accurately called the winner of nearly every presidential election since President Reagan’s reelection in 1984.

Lichtman updated his complicated prediction model to reflect President Joe Biden dropping out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris become the presumptive Democratic nominee.

Based on his model which includes thirteen factors, or ‘keys’ as he calls them, Harris is currently on course for victory with less than 100 days to go before Election Day.

Veepstakes twist as leading contender to be Kamala Harris’ running mate spectacularly drops out ahead of shock move

Cooper confirmed in a statement Monday night that he would not be a candidate to be Harris’ vice president, saying he was ‘honored’ to be considered but ‘this just wasn’t the right time for North Carolina and for me to potentially be on a national ticket.’

The governor, 67, withdrew from contention well before Harris’ vetting process began and never submitted the requisite material, according to two of the people.

Harris remains focused on mostly men with executive experience from swing states like Cooper to round out the ticket.

A Bloomberg report Monday revealed that Pennsylvania’s Josh Shapiro as well as Arizona Gov. Mark Kelly and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz are the top three contenders Harris is considering adding to her ticket.
