White Dudes for Harris was a group of male voters that supported theKamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign.[1][2] Ross Morales Rocketto and Mike Nellis have been credited as the group's organizers.[3][4]
In July 2024, a fundraiser with approximately 190,000 participants raised more than $4 million.[5] Attendees included politiciansPete Buttigieg,Roy Cooper,[6]J. B. Pritzker,Tim Walz, andDavid Hogg,[7] as well asSean Astin,Lance Bass,Jeff Bridges,Josh Gad,Joseph Gordon-Levitt,Josh Groban,Mark Hamill,Ryan Flaherty,Paul Scheer,[8] andBradley Whitford.[9][10]
