Kamala Harris has seized the spotlight with an impressive surge of support from Hollywood’s biggest names since Barack Obama’s presidency.

Many A-list celebrities, previously disenchanted with both Trump and Biden, are showing a ‘pumped up’ enthusiasm with Harris’s emergence as a presidential hopeful. A star-studded lineup, including George Clooney, Cardi B, and Beyoncé, has rallied behind her campaign. Additionally, the Vice President is revitalising Democratic donors who had previously withdrawn their support due to Biden’s reluctance to step aside.

“My phone is blowing up,” a source close to Harris’ campaign told CNN about the sudden surge in Hollywood interest. “I don’t even have time to answer my phone,” the source added.

A bunch of people who know the ins and outs of the movie and music world, like those who help with fundraising and represent actors, told the news outlet that everyone in Hollywood is really excited about Harris. They think she’s a great pick for now. According to a source, preparations for Harris’ inaugural presidential fundraiser in Los Angeles are already in motion, with numerous TV, film, and music executives stepping forward to host the event.

George Clooney, who got a bad rap from some politicians for pushing Biden to quit, is now backing his Vice President for the big party ticket. On Tuesday, the well-known Democratic fundraiser told CNN that the president’s decision to drop out shows “real leadership.”

“He’s saving democracy once again,” he said. “We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.”
