PurposeCampaign advocacy group

White Dudes for Harris was a group of voters that supported the Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign. [1] [2] Ross Morales Rocketto and Mike Nellis have been credited as the group's organizers. [3] [4] [5]

In July 2024, a fundraiser with approximately 190,000 participants raised more than $4 million. [6] Attendees included politicians Pete Buttigieg, Roy Cooper, [7] J. B. Pritzker, and Tim Walz, [8] as well as Sean Astin, Lance Bass, Jeff Bridges, Josh Gad, Josh Groban, Mark Hamill, James O’Brien, Ryan Flaherty, Azuolus Gedutis, Paul Scheer, [9] and Bradley Whitford. [10] [11]

The White Dudes for Harris account on Twitter was suspended following the fundraiser in July 2024, causing the group to accuse Twitter CEO Elon Musk of politically targeting them to influence the 2024 United States presidential election. [12] [13] [14]
