'White Dudes For Harris' Fundraising Call Joined by Jeff Bridges & More
KAMALA HARRIS I'M WHITE, A DUDE & FOR HARRIS!! ... Says Jeff Bridges & Co.
"White Dudes for Harris" has the ultimate "Dude" onboard to support Kamala Harris' presidential campaign -- yep, Jeff Bridges himself joined the hugely successful fundraising effort.
Alongside Jeff singing praises for the current veep -- who could become the first female U.S. President -- the 3-hour Zoom call had Josh Gad, Mark Ruffalo and Mark Hamill popping in, too ... and eventually they had a total of 180,000 on the call.
Appropriately sounding every bit like his iconic character, "The Dude" abided as Jeff gushed, "I'm white, I'm a dude, and I'm for Harris -- a woman President, man … how exciting!"
Hard to find a better poster child for an effort with "White Dudes" in the title -- and, BTW, the call ended up raking in over $4 million for the campaign.
He also raved about Kamala’s passion for women’s rights, her strong stance on the environment, and her leadership in supporting kids -- stuff he said he can totally get behind.
The call followed last week's "White Women: Answer the Call" for Harris, which was dubbed the largest Zoom call in history after pulling in about 200,000 participants and raising an impressive more than $8 mil.
The mass fundraising effort began last week when "Win With Black Women" pulled in around 90,000 participants, and 50,000 more supporters joined "Black Men for Harris."
About a week after Harris' campaign kicked off, it's picking up steam with these casual meetups -- and Democrats are dubbing the movement the "Kamalamentum" wave.
