Harris campaign pulls in cash from ‘white dudes’ and women in online events
The dudes abide Kamala Harris.
The vice president’s campaign drew nearly 200,000 participants Monday to a “White Dudes for Harris” Zoom call that included Jeff Bridges, who referenced his signature line from “The Big Lebowski” to endorse her presidential candidacy.
"I'm white. I'm a dude and I'm for Harris,” he said on the call.
The online event, which featured nearly 30 speakers and raised more than $4 million, wasn’t the only big financial draw for Harris. A separate “Women for Harris” attracted over 300,000 viewers.
The calls are further evidence of the vice president’s apparent ability to raise money for a campaign that’s less than two weeks old and will require massive spending to overcome the polling strength of former President Donald Trump.
“White Dudes for Harris” and “Women for Harris” follow other virtual gatherings in recent days from identity-based groups — including “Black Women for Harris.”
Bridges set the tone early in the discussion. “I’m excited, man. The fact that Joe passed the baton so beautifully and Kamala is our girl. A woman president. How exciting!”
The discussion went on to live up to the movie’s famous line, “A dude abides,” a reference to embrace tolerance.
It's fun watching Harris destroy Trump. He has no chance in November.
