A Zoom call organized by 'White Dudes for Harris' raised over $4 million for Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. The event, which took place on Monday night, saw participation from over 200,000 people, including Hollywood celebrities such as Jeff Bridges, Mark Hamill, and J.J. Abrams. Jeff Bridges, known for his role in 'The Big Lebowski,' expressed his support by saying, 'I'm white, I'm a dude, and I'm for Harris.' The call also featured appearances by political figures like Pete Buttigieg and several Democratic governors. Despite its success, the 'White Dudes for Harris' account on X was temporarily suspended after the event, raising concerns among organizers. The call initially had 123,000 participants and raised $3.5 million before surpassing $4 million, and it also discussed women's rights.
