“White Dudes For Harris” Virtual Call Set With 67,000 Attendees

The latest call for support of Vice President Kamala Harris’ bid for the presidency by white men has over 67,000 registered.

On Sunday (July 28), the latest group to show their support for Vice President Kamala Harris and her bid for the presidency in November began to mobilize, calling themselves “White Dudes For Harris”. They announced that their first virtual meeting would take place on Monday (July 29), and that to date they expect over 67,000 to attend based on the RSVPs they received. A late update says that over 80,000 will be attending the call, set to take place at 8 PM Eastern time.

BOOM! I’m one of over 50,000 white dudes who signed up so far for tomorrow’s “White Dudes for Harris” virtual meeting. In addition to @PeteButtigieg, we’ll be joined by @RoyCooperNC, @AdamSchiff, @mishacollins, @profgalloway and @MarkHamill.

The response also netted $325,000 in donations to go to the presidential campaign for Harris. The “White Dudes For Harris” call will feature a tremendous list of guest speakers, which include such actors as Star Wars icon Mark Hamill, The Avengers’ Mark Ruffalo, Josh Gad, and The West Wing’s Bradley Whitford along with comedians Paul Scheer, Adam Conover, and Thomas Lennon. The call will also feature some of the major voices in the Democratic Party, which include a potential candidate to be Harris’ pick for vice president, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler. Other notable figures include North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper, Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, Maryland Congressman Steny H. Hoyer, California Congressman Adam Schiff, and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg. Additionally, activist David Hogg will also be in attendance.

The “White Dudes For Harris” group has been a remarkable addition to the many groups who have mobilized since last Sunday (July 21) when President Joe Biden decided to drop out of the running for re-election and endorsed Vice President Harris to be the Democratic candidate. The motivation to defeat Republican nominee Donald Trump at the ballot box in November is high among the group, who want to disassociate themselves from that base of white men who have traditionally voted Republican in large numbers. “White Dudes For Harris” looks to add to the historically significant fundraising total that the Harris campaign has brought in, which was estimated at $200 million.
