A group of white male Democratic political operatives organized an event called White Dudes for Harris in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, who would be the first female president if elected. The event, which attracted over 180,000 participants and raised nearly $4 million, featured famous white male supporters, including actor Jeff Bridges. Several potential vice presidential candidates for Harris, such as Pete Buttigieg and Tim Walz, also attended the event. The white dudes involved emphasized the importance of diversifying representation in politics and expressed their excitement at the prospect of Harris defeating former President Donald Trump. The event featured performances and appearances from white male actors, singers, and political figures, all showing their support for Harris. They discussed issues of masculinity, emotional openness, and their desire for a more inclusive and progressive future. The organizers of White Dudes for Harris emphasized the need to counteract the influence of MAGA Republicans and to show solidarity with Harris and other underrepresented groups in politics. Overall, the event provided a rare platform for white males to express their support for a female president and to engage with issues of diversity and representation in American politics.
