These events are a virtual continuation of other identity-based gatherings, such as “Black Women for Harris.”

The guys love Kamala Harris.

The vice president’s campaign attracted nearly 200,000 participants to a Zoom call Monday called “White Dudes For Harris”. Jeff Bridges endorsed her presidential bid by referencing his signature line from “The Big Lebowski”.

“I’m white. “I’m a guy and I’m with Harris,” he told the woman on the phone.

Harris didn’t just rely on the online event to raise money. It also featured speakers from around 30 countries and raised over $4 million. Over 300,000 people watched a separate “Women for Harris”.

These calls show the vice president’s apparent ability in raising money for a campaign which is less than two weeks old. It will take massive spending to overtake the strength of former President Donald Trump’s polling.

In recent days, other identity-based groups have gathered online — including “Black Women for Harris.”

Bridges sets the tone for the conversation early on. “I’m excited, man. Kamala, our girl. A woman as president. “How exciting!”

The discussion continued to reflect the famous line from the movie, “A Dude Abides,” which is a reference to tolerance.

A long line white men pledged money to Harris, challenging the stereotype that whites prefer Trump. The “White Dudes for Harris’ gathering was inspired by “Black Women for Harris”, which took place a week earlier. Steny H. Hoyer of Maryland donated $50,000.

At the Zoom event, a number of politicians were present. Roy Cooper, of North Carolina has withdrawn his name from consideration to run alongside Harris as vice-president. Two people are still considered possible: Tim Walz, of Minnesota, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

Governors JB Pritzker of Illinois and Bradley Whitford, who played a White House deputy chief of staff on NBC’s “The West Wing,” also took part. JB Pritzker, the Illinois governor, and Bradley Whitford (known for his role as a White House deputy chief-of-staff on NBC’s “The West Wing”) also took part.

Pritzker admitted that the event’s name was unusual. Pritzker said, “It doesn’t seem like I would be a part of this, but it is a great cause.” He then backed Harris and poked fun at Trump.

“Real men respect their women, their career, and their decisions.” Cooper stated that it’s obvious Donald Trump and JDVance don’t.

Zoom’s spontaneous gatherings over the past week have helped to boost Harris’s popularity. This aspect of Biden’s campaign had faded as voters became more concerned about his age. Since Biden’s departure eight days ago many groups have organized their own events to support Harris and raise money for her campaign. Since President Joe Biden dropped out of the race for re-election, the Harris campaign has raised $200 million.

The Democratic National Committee hosted a Zoom call called “Women for Harris”, which included Gloria Steinem, Rep. Pramila Jaipal of Washington, Sen. Laphonza Butler of California, Chelsea Clinton, and Ana Navarro from “The View”.
