We’ve had “Win with Black Men,” “Win with Black Women,” “White Women Answer the Call,” and now, there’s “White Dudes for Harris.” Does Kamala Harris feel overwhelmed yet? Yes, with joy. White Dudes for Harris didn’t disappoint; they raised over $4 million. The group had 75,000 reservations, but over 150,000 joined the stream, which they wisely held on YouTube. The speakers’ list for this event was a veritable “who’s who” of white men (dudes). Various outlets reported on the event. The night kicked off with Jeff Bridges, who played “The Dude” in “The Big Lebowski.” He said: “I’m white, I’m a dude, and I’m here for Harris.” He went on to say: “I’m excited, man!” That word is tossed around nonstop when referring to Harris.

The pitch for the event, written by the organizers, was: “Ninety-nine days from now we have an opportunity to help Kamala Harris make some history. We also have the opportunity to change some minds, to have some tough but fair conversations, to meet other white dudes where they are, and to address some things that, well frankly, just haven’t been addressed. We are honest, open, and ready to support our first Black woman president.” I don’t know what it is about this whole thing that is touching people so deeply; I got Goosebumps typing this. It’s beautiful to see people from all walks of life coming out to support our (hopefully) first female president, who happens to be part Black.

Other noted speakers included potential vice-presidential running mates Pete Buttigieg, Roy Cooper, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker. Walz asked the men a very important question: “How often in a hundred days do you get the change the trajectory of the world?” And that’s exactly what Harris’s campaign feels like-a chance to change the way we’re heading. We know where we would be heading with Trump-straight to hell, but we have a chance to avoid the darkness he and JD Vance want to rain on not only our country but our world. All speakers had nothing but bad things to say about Donald Trump. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. Who fundraises off an assassination attempt? Only Donald Trump. He’s so big and bad, yet he is scared as hell to debate Harris. It’s all over the news. Harris appeared on one show, and the host asked her if Donald Trump is afraid to debate her. Harris said: “He’d better be.” She’s going to eat him for lunch, and he knows it. How can he possibly defend against his criminal charges, his crazy ideas, and his crazy running mate?

Now, here’s the real bite. According to Newsweek, one of the organizers of White Dudes for Harris had his X account suspended temporarily. There is no explanation for the suspension. Mike Nellis, a member of the organization, said that the account is live again, but it is still suspended. Nellis called on all followers to continue donating: “Don’t let them silence us.” Ain’t that something? I thought Republicans cared about free speech. Apparently, only if it’s them speaking. I hate to tell them, this train has left the station, and there’s no stopping it.
