Jennifer Garner has decided to venture out of her cushy Hollywood life to join forces with Gwen Walz, wife of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, as they make their ill-fated trek through swing states like Nevada. This dynamic duo, dubbed the ‘Jen-and-Gwen’ team, may be as catchy as a bad pop song, but their celebrity clout seems about as effective as a screen door on a submarine.
Gwen Walz, not the one to shy away from cringe-worthy moments, has made headlines previously for her over-the-top theatrics. Her latest attempt at stirring voter enthusiasm involved an arm-waving spectacle that accompanied her cheerleading mantra of “turn the page.” This display didn’t just go viral; it resulted in an avalanche of memes mocking what can only be described as a masterclass in unintentional comedy.
Oh, fuck off.
Jennifer Garner Teams Up With Tim Walz’s Wife in Nevada: ‘It’s the Jen and Gwen. Whoooo. Yay’https://t.co/IxaqtJCTVe— Nook (@SargeRockey) October 22, 2024
Despite her history of clutching at straws, Garner has positioned herself as a key player in Kamala Harris’ campaign as the election nears its climax. Strangely enough, the former “Garfleck” star seems more concerned about distancing voters from Donald Trump than focusing on anything remotely related to actual policy. Polls indicate that Trump has recently claimed a narrow lead in Nevada, thanks in part to his promise of lifting taxes on service workers’ tips. Garner might want to consider that while she’s out peddling her Hollywood-approved agenda, the guy who actually stars in the reality show “make America great again” is winning hearts and minds with tangible issues.
Attempting to win over the red-leaning hearts of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, Garner stood in front of a live audience and floundered. Her social media takedown began after she declared that there is “nothing sexier” than a man declaring his loyalty to Kamala, which sparked a wave of eye-rolls across the internet. Perhaps this type of enthusiasm is more suitable for a rom-com rather than a campaign event.
Despite initially shunning celebrity endorsements due to fears of being labeled as elitist, Harris has now rolled out the red carpet for a handful of stars, including Lizzo and Kerry Washington, in a last-ditch effort to shore up support. This desperation to woo voters with A-list muscle is a testament to how far the campaign is willing to go to mask the serious lack of substance in their platform. If this is the best strategy that the Democrats can muster, they might want to start considering just how much Hollywood glitz can truly sway the American public.
