Kamala’s Close: Complete List of Hollywood Elites Telling Americans What America They Should Have

As millions of working Americans struggle with sky-high inflation, the crushing costs of gas and groceries, open borders, and rampant crime, among other issues, Kamala Harris has leaned on Uber wealthy Hollywood elites to tell them how to vote and who to vote for on Election Day. Indeed, Kamala Harris has spent the final days of her presidential campaign doing much of what she’s done throughout her campaign; relying heavily on those very Hollywood elites, surrounding herself with out of touch celebrities and even ditching a planned appearance in the battleground state of Michigan to play herself opposite Maya Rudolph on NBC’s Saturday Night Live this weekend.

In the past two weeks alone, she has shared the stage with Beyonce, Cardi B, Lizzo, Usher, Jennifer Lopez, and Bruce Springsteen — all of whom have endorsed her candidacy. This, while a litany of smug celebrities — Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Don Cheadle, Leonardo DiCaprio, Julia Roberts, Harrison Ford, Jeff Bridges, Will Ferrell, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Elba, Cher, Eminem, Usher, Billie Ellish, Matt Damon, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Morgan Freeman, Jason Bateman, Dave Bautista, Alecia Keys, John Legend, Jon Bon Jovi, Stevie Wonder, Spike Lee, Ben Stiller, Michael Keaton, Bryan Cranston, Julia Louis Dreyfus,, J.J. Abrams, Whoopi Goldberg, Nick Offerman, and Samuel L Jackson, to name a few — have crisscrossed several swings states attempting to gin up support for Harris’s campaign.

Billionaire and millionaire Hollywood elites have come out hard for Harris: 

Oprah — Estimated net worth: $3 billion

Taylor Swift — Estimated net worth: $1.6 billion

Tyler Perry — Estimated net worth: $1.4 billion

Bruce Springsteen — Estimated net worth: $1.2 billion

Arnold Schwarzenegger — Estimated net worth: $1 billion 

Beyonce — Estimated net worth: $800 million

George Clooney — Estimated net worth : $500 million

Robert De Niro — Estimated net worth: $500 million

Barbra Streisand — Estimated net worth: $460 million

David Letterman — Estimated net worth: $400 million

You are who you surround yourself with. And for Kamala Harris, that means fabulously wealthy entertainment industry elites who have little to no contact with ordinary American voters.

Why the sudden hard pivot to celebrity endorsements?

In the early weeks of her campaign, after usurping the nomination from Joe Biden, Kamala Harris reportedly wanted to distance herself from Hollywood to avoid the same accusations of showbiz elitism that plagued Hillary Clinton’s run in 2016. As a result, celebrities played a relatively muted role at the Democrat National Convention in August, though Oprah Winfrey did appear on stage to yell “J-o-o-o-o-y-y-y-y!!!” at millions of viewers.

Of course, Kamala Harris never stopped taking Hollywood money. Studio bosses and other executives regularly shower her with cash. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, she partied with some of them at a Los Angeles fundraiser while millions of North Carolina residents were digging themselves out of the devastation.

But as former President Donald Trump continues to build momentum in swing states heading into November 5, the Kamala Harris campaign is dropping all pretense and unleashing celebrity endorsements in a blitz of pure star power.

Here is complete list of the Hollywood elites who have publicly endorsed Kamala Harris.

Mere days after Hollywood trade publication Variety attempted to shame Taylor Swift into coming off the sideline and endorse Harris for President, the pop megastar did. Though, multiple polls showed Swift’s endorsement backfiring for her and Harris, it was a huge (if not obvious) cosign in what was the nascent stage of the Harris-Walz campaign.

Below is a complete list of the smug celebrity elites demanding working Americans do as they, and vote Kamala.

An endorsement from media mogul Oprah Winfrey can move as many as a million votes, according to Northwestern University researchers. So, the former queen of daytime talk TV lending her help to the Harris campaign was welcomed with open arms. Yet, in a safe space town hall event, replete with celebrity endorsors and softball questions, Kamala Harris still managed to turn a walk in the park campaign confab into a gaffe-laden shitstorm.

Grammy-winning pop superstar Beyonce came out hard and heavy in Houston for Harris. It was all going well, that is, until thousands of Harris devotees waiting hours to see the singer hit the stage were let down hard when Beyonce’s performance was nothing more than a five minute speech — not the concert production many had hoped for.
