Hollywood has pulled off a remarkable 180, flipping the cash switch back on for Kamala Harris after leaving Joe Biden out to dry. It turns out that the glitterati of Tinseltown no longer consider Biden their golden boy. Instead, they are now convinced that Harris is their best shot at retaining power in the upcoming elections. It seems that a star-studded approval may just be the elixir she needs to rise from the depths of political mediocrity.
At the forefront of this Hollywood love affair are two of the biggest names in the industry — Barry Diller and Reed Hastings. Diller, a seasoned kingpin of studio leadership, has suddenly found his enthusiasm for the vice president. While he previously backed Biden, it is abundantly clear that after a lackluster debate performance, he’s ready to switch allegiances.

Hastings, co-founder and executive chairman of Netflix, took it up a notch by generously lavishing Harris with a whopping $7 million donation. Not only is that a significant financial commitment, but it also marks his largest single contribution to any candidate thus far. One can only assume he found inspiration after that riveting, albeit “depressing,” debate showdown, igniting the fire in the “KHive,” the quirky fan base rallying behind Harris.
Other Hollywood elites like George Clooney and Rob Reiner have also cast their votes of confidence for the vice president, showcasing that the appeal of celebrity influence remains strong even among the increasingly paranoid ranks of Hollywood’s elite. Even perennial leftists like Mark Ruffalo and Bette Midler are on the Harris bandwagon, rallying their fans to push the narrative that she embodies the future, despite the blunders of the present.
The excitement is palpable, and these high-rolling donors seem to believe that Kamala Harris could be the secret ingredient to dethroning Donald Trump in the 2024 election. Perhaps they think Hollywood magic can work wonders in politics. However, one must wonder whether a few million and a sprinkling of star endorsements can truly compensate for Harris’ apparent shortcomings when it comes to resonating with the average American.
