Julia Roberts, Taylor Swift, George Clooney and Other Hollywood Celebrities Who Are Supporting Kamala Harris Ahead of the US Elections
With the 60th quadrennial United States presidential elections, Hollywood celebrities are making all the headlines as they pick a side between being either a Democratic or a Republican. The major debate is between Republican candidate Donald Trump and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, and a significant amount of the entertainment industry seems to be gliding in support of the latter.
Of course, in this presidential race, which many deem one of the most important elections to date, Trump is trying to play his card as best as he can and has even managed to earn some significant supporters up his list. But when it comes to Harris, the fan following seems to be constantly increasing in numbers and names from Hollywood.
For one, she has scored herself some prominent supporters and endorsers among the likes of the billionaire singer Taylor Swift, the ever-entertaining heartthrob George Clooney, and Hollywood’s very own favorite Julia Roberts. But the notable names don’t end with just these three, as innumerable more celebs step up in support of Harris ahead of the US elections.
Here’s a list of the same, including most of the big names we know as of now who are extending their support to Kamala Harris. Without further ado, let’s dig in.
Hollywood Celebrities Supporting Kamala Harris in US Elections 2024
1. Kerry Washington & Tony Goldwyn
Late August 2024 saw actress Kerry Washington proudly jumping in support of Harris. This happened during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Illinois, when the Emmy winner chanted the vice president’s slogan “When we fight, we win!” with all the thousands of supporters in attendance.
But she wasn’t alone in doing so, as joining her on the final night of the convention event was none other than her Scandal co-star Tony Goldwyn (see Deadline). Talk about an iconic reunion.
2. Megan Thee Stallion
One of the first open supporters of Harris for the upcoming presidential elections, fan-favorite rapper cum singer Megan Thee Stallion really put her Hot Girl Summer Tour on hold just to extend her support to Harris.
At the vice president’s rally in Atlanta in July, the Grammy winner donned a royal blue blazer and tie over a cropped white collared shirt and pants the same color as her blazer. From the way she performed hit tracks like Girls in the Hood and Savage in her “Hotties for Harris” campaign, things seem to be looking good for the VP running for prez (see YouTube).
3. Andy Cohen & Ben Stiller
Turns out, TV show host Andy Cohen and actor Ben Stiller are all in on the idea of having Harris as president as well. Apparently, the pair cited being girl dads as one of the major reasons behind them extending their support to the current vice president in this presidential race.
See @DouglasEmhoff‘s clip on X to see the duo speak in support of Harris.
4. Howard Stern
Howard Stern may have had a good time roasting people’s butts off on his shows and shedding light on the truth on one too many occasions, but he also seems to be a Democrat at heart.
In an interview with Harris as a part of her media blitz, he not only blasted Trump but also let the vice president know she’ll get his vote in November (see Deadline). Classic Stern.
5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Joseph Gordon-Levitt also seems to have joined the list of the geniuses standing in support of Harris.
Turns out, he was one of the pro speakers for the vice president as the next president of the United States of America during a “White Dudes for Harris” online YouTube rally that managed to raise more than $4 million in donations for Harris (via Deadline).
6. Oprah Winfrey
One of the most influential figures in the industry, Oprah Winfrey has decided to be yet another name in the list of prominent Hollywood endorsers for Harris as president.
During Harris’ presidential campaign, she united with the vice president to share the stage in the event Unite for America in Michigan, voicing her support for Harris in these upcoming elections (per Al Jazeera).
7. Jeff Bridges
Just like Gordon-Levitt, actor Jeff Bridges also decided to extend his support to Harris through the “White Dudes for Harris” online YouTube rally. Contributing to the virtual event, he was a helping hand in $4 million plus raised in donations for Harris (see Deadline).
8. Marc Anthony
Harris has scored another influential support in the face of singer Marc Anthony. Speaking up to support the vice president’s campaign through an ad, he reminded voters of former President Trump’s mass-scrutinized past actions and words, saying, “I am Marc Anthony and I remember. That’s why I support Kamala Harris for president” (per Variety).
9. Mark Hamill
Yet another “White Dudes for Harris” guy, Mark Hamill has been one of the most prominent supporters of Hamill all this time.
While he has previously been seen extending his support to Joe Biden through his Instagram, he seemed to be doing the same for Harris during the YouTube event, helping the donation money pile in faster and stronger.
10. Lizzo
In a proper influential manner, Lizzo danced to the rhythm of the Harris-Walz tune as well. Taking to her Instagram handle, she let fans know that not only had she cast her vote for the Harris Walz ticket, but also had T-shirts that held the lyrics “Its About MaDam Time!” from her famous song About Damn Time going perfectly with Harris’ campaign. Well, it is about damn time!
11. Anne Hathaway
Hollywood heartthrob Anne Hathaway has also stood in support of Harris. In the special live-stream event, Broadway Rallies For Kamala, held on October 14, the roster holding the names of stars performing in the vice president’s favor included that of The Idea of You actress as well (as per Deadline).
12. J.J. Abrams
Filmmaker cum composer J.J. Abrams also proved to be a major support for the vice president. In the “White Dudes for Harris” virtual YouTube event, he unhesitantly chipped in a $50,000 match, joining a majority of Hollywood in his support for Harris (see Deadline).
13. Spike Lee
Director Spike Lee is all in on the idea of having Harris as the next president as well. Turns out, he was not only one of the famous faces in the crowd at the Democratic National Convention held in August this year but also made use of himself as he photo-documented the event and talked to attendees both random and iconic (per GQ). True pro-Harris-er? That’s Lee.
14. Julia Louis-Dreyfus
Julia Louis-Dreyfuss seems to be one of Harris’ most prominent supporters so far. While she did attend the Democratic National Convention like many others on this list, the Seinfeld actress also committed heavily to the vice president’s campaign – promising to be “extra-involved” to make Harris win to The Times of London.
Additionally, her Veep character of Selena Meyer also gained some spotlight for being similar to Harris since she is portrayed as “a very unhappy vice president” who, at a certain point, gets to run for president as well. But the actress was quick to point to MSNBC that her character, in her opinion, was closer to Trump than it ever was to Harris. (That must have stung.)
15. Eva Longoria
Desperate Housewives actress cum film producer Eva Longoria, too, has proudly announced her support for Harris as the next president of the United States. This happened during the last night of the Democratic National Convention event, where she spoke in high praise and backing of Harris, almost like a pro (see YouTube).
16. Sigourney Weaver
Sigourney Weaver is no newbie to supporting Harris either. To say the least, she seems to be one of the vice president’s strongest supporters, especially after she confessed she was “so excited about Kamala” during a press conference at the Venice Film Festival (see Variety).
Nearly tearing up at the mere thought of her work having any influence on Harris, she said, “To think for one moment that my work would have anything to do with her rise makes me very happy, actually, because it’s true. I have so many women who come and thank me.” Die-hard Harris supporter for sure.
17. Dave Bautista
Dave Bautista has let his voice heard about supporting Harris as well. Taking to his Instagram, the Guardians of the Galaxy star wrote, “Made my freedom heard. Voting early took me 20 mins—no excuses. Freedom isn’t something we just talk about; it’s something we act on. Do your part, get out there, and vote. Your voice matters, and this election’s too important to sit out.”
18. Jennifer Lawrence
Jennifer Lawrence is further bringing star power to the Harris-Walz presidential campaign.
Talking to People, she shared her very simple reason for this choice, saying, “I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I think she’s an amazing candidate and I know that she will do whatever she can to protect reproductive rights. That’s the most important thing, is to not let somebody into the White House who is going to ban abortion.”
19. FINNEAS and Billie Eilish
Meanwhile, fan-favorite Grammy winner Billie Eilish, along with her brother and music partner FINNEAS, is all in on the idea of having Harris as the next president. Using her social media platforms to raise awareness about the same, the musical pair endorsed Harris and Walz all the while encouraging their fans and followers to vote as well.
20. Taylor Swift
The Childless Cat Lady didn’t hesitate to endorse Kamala Harris just minutes after her debate with Donald Trump ended.
In her message, she posted a picture of herself with her cat – presumably triggered by Trump’s “They’re eating our dogs, they’re eating our cats, they’re eating our pets” remark – and openly endorsed Harris in the caption over Trump.
21. Misha Collins
Better known as Castiel in the Supernatural saga, Misha Collins is also rallying for Harris to take the presidential seat in the US next. Reportedly, he is one of the big tickets billed as a participant in the September Geeks & Nerds for Harris/Walz fundraiser to support the Harris/Walz ticket for the current presidential elections.
22. Mark Ruffalo
Mark Ruffalo is taking his 20.3-million-followers-popular Instagram platform and putting it to good use to extend all his support to the Harris-Walz duo that he possibly can.
A majority of his latest posts are not only filled with his support for the Palestinians amidst the ongoing genocide in Gaza and calling for a permanent ceasefire but are also filled with his endorsement for Harris in more than one way.
23. Michael Keaton
Michael Keaton took to the night when he was to host Saturday Night Live to encourage the audience to vote through his iconic tee emblazoned with the word “vote” on it.
Then came his message through his Instagram handle where he didn’t mince his words while blasting Trump and all the people thinking of attending his valley, claiming, “They have no respect for you, trust me.” Pro-Harris he is.
24. Aubrey Plaza
Aubrey Plaza has stepped up in support of Harris-Walz as well, using a similar tactic as pop billionaire Swift did while endorsing Harris.
Taking to her Instagram handle, the Agatha All Along actress posted a picture of herself with her cat captioned as “HARRIS 🇺🇸 WALZ”. Seems like she was triggered by Donald Trump‘s comments on pets as well.
25. George Clooney
One of the earliest endorsers, George Clooney is making sure Harris knows she has his support. In a statement, he praised Joe Biden and hyped Harris up, saying, “President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He’s saving democracy once again. We’re all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest.” (See Deadline.)
26. Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts also seems to be aiding Kamala Harris in her mission to become the next president of the United States of America. As per reports from Reuters, the Pretty Woman visited her home state of Georgia for the same, where she was introduced by former state Representative Stacey Abrams.
27. Jamie Lee Curtis
Like many others on this list, Jamie Lee Curtis also let her social media presence let her fans and followers know that the one getting her support in the 60th quadrennial presidential elections was Harris.
Claiming she wholeheartedly supports Biden’s decision to endorse the vice president for the next president, she wrote about Harris on her Instagram: “SHE IS TRUSTED AND TESTED and she is a fierce advocate for women’s rights and people of color and her message is one of HOPE and UNITY for America at her time of great national divide.” Seems like someone has the Terminator actress’ undying support.
28. Yvette Nicole Brown
Yvette Nicole Brown‘s endorsement of Harris also came through her attendance at the Democratic National Convention event like many others on this list. Per Wio News, she attended the Our Future, Our Freedom celebration concert at the DNC to extend her support for the Harris-Walz ticket.
29. Jennifer Garner
Jennifer Garner is turning out to be one of the most prominent supporters of Harris, considering how her presence at the Moms for Harris event at a tearoom in Tucson, Arizona wasn’t the only way she endorsed the vice president for the next prez of USA (see the Deccan Herald).
Adding to this are her exclusive posts on Instagram which have made it evident that none but Harris will be getting her vote this time around.
30. Sally Field
Sally Field doesn’t have many posts on her Instagram, but she has ensured that the ones she does have are in support of Harris and “the earth, and women and human rights.”
To say the least, the eight posts she has on Instagram are all about the upcoming presidential elections and how choosing Harris would change everything for them, so there’s no doubt she’s counting on Kamala Harris to make the change.
While these 33 names are some of the most major ones standing in support of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz as the real Democrats, they aren’t the only ones doing so from Hollywood.
According to the New York Times, other major supporters include actors Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Robert De Niro, Molly Ringwald, and Matt Damon; producer Shonda Rhimes; filmmaker Lin-Manuel Miranda; and chef José Andrés.
Further major names listed by Forbes include Jennifer Aniston, Bryan Cranston, Willie Nelson, Cher, Geraldo Rivera, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Mel Brooks, Barbra Streisand, Nick Offerman, John Legend, Mindy Kaling, LeVar Burton, Bill Nye, Olivia Rodrigo, Cardi B, Kesha, Chappell Roan, Jane Fonda, Ed Helms, Mark Cuban, and Steven Spielberg, among others.
Lastly, the Hollywood names added to this list by Deadline include Drew Carey, Eminem, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Charli XCX, Mandy Patinkin, Mariska Hargitay, Poorna Jagannathan, Sam Waterson, Linda Ronstadt, Octavia Spencer, Carole King, Stevie Wonder, Jason Bateman, Cecily Strong, Maren Morris, Mickey Guyton, P!nk, Jason Isbell, Matthew Modine, Laura Lippman, Attica Locke, Michael Connelly, and Alex Cooper.
All of this said, it’s inevitable to admit that Kamala Harris has really managed to garner some serious Hollywood star power up her sleeve. The only thing that remains to be seen is how powerful these endorsements turn out to be in the Democratic Party’s support.
