SELMA, ALABAMA - MARCH 06: U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris speaks during commemorations for the 57th anniversary of "Bloody Sunday" on March 06, 2022 in Selma, Alabama. The Edmund Pettus Bridge was the site of the brutal beatings of civil rights marchers at the hands of police during the first march for voting rights on March 7, 1965.

In a remarkable display of political prowess, a star-studded Zoom event featuring singer Pink and actress Connie Britton has shattered attendance records and raised over $2 million for the 2024 presidential campaign of Democratic candidate Kamala Harris.
The unprecedented virtual gathering, described by software engineer and pilot Alex Cole as “the largest Zoom in history,” drew a staggering 164,000 participants and generated an impressive $2 million in contributions in less than 90 minutes. Activist Shannon Watts hailed the event as a testament to Harris’ growing support, and stated on social media, “Tens of thousands of new volunteers registered and ready to elect @KamalaHarris in just 100 days. She. Is. Going. To. Win.”
Recognizing the significance of this momentum, the largest progressive-leaning super PAC, Future Forward, has announced a $50 million advertising campaign across six key states in the next three weeks. This initiative aims to introduce Harris to voters and bolster her candidacy ahead of the Democratic nominating convention in Chicago.
American Bridge 21st Century, the second-largest independent advertiser for the presidential campaign, will resume its advertising efforts in Michigan on Friday, continuing its direct-to-camera testimonial campaign that began in May. Additionally, Women Vote, the ad spending division of Emily’s List, has unveiled a $2 million digital campaign targeting younger women in four states.
“We’re ready to hit the ground running to make sure voters know that Kamala Harris will be a President that fights for them,” Future Forward President Chauncey McLean asserted. “She is focused on improving the lives of all Americans.”
The upcoming advertisements highlight Harris’ achievements as a district attorney who protected children from sexual predators, an attorney general who stood up to big banks to protect homeowners, a senator who fought to defend a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions, and a vice president who fought to cap the price of insulin at $35 a month.
Actor George Clooney recently endorsed Harris after calling on the president to drop out of the race. On Friday, the Obamas followed suit and endorsed her candidacy.
