Jeff Bridges, J.J. Abrams and Mark Hamill are among the Hollywood figures who joined Monday night’s “White Dudes for Harris” Zoom fundraising and organizing rally.
The event, which is being broadcast on YouTube, has currently raised more than $3 million for Vice President Kamala Harris‘ presidential campaign.
“I’m white, I’m a dude, and I’m here for Harris,” said Bridges, who played the the uber-laid-back character “The Dude” in the Coen brothers’ 1998 film “The Big Lebowski.”
“I’m excited, man!” Bridges added.
Meanwhile, Abrams promised during the call to match $50,000 raised from attendees.
More than 140,000 signed up for the gathering, which featured appearances from actors including Hamill, Mark Ruffalo, Sean Astin, Josh Groban, Josh Gad and Bradley Whitford.
Democratic officials who participated include Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, all of whom have been considered potential running mates for Harris.
