A star-studded Zoom rally featuring comedians like Cecily Strong, Patton Oswalt, and Ben Stiller will support Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic Presidential nominee, in a major digital fundraising event. This rally is part of a series of virtual events that have significantly impacted the campaign.
The “Comics for Kamala” virtual rally will also feature Jon Hamm, Jason Bateman, Tom Arnold, and Kathy Griffin. Organized by California Rep. Eric Swalwell, the event aims to raise funds and boost campaign efforts for Harris. Swalwell noted the enthusiasm surrounding Harris’s campaign, especially following President Biden’s decision to step aside for her.
Harris’s infectious laugh, made famous by the viral “coconut tree” meme, has been targeted by right-wing critics, with former President Trump mockingly referring to her as “LAFFIN’ KAMALA.” Despite these attacks, Harris’s upbeat personality remains a key aspect of her appeal.

This Zoom rally follows several successful Harris fundraisers, including a 44,000-participant “Black women for Harris” call and a record-setting “White women for Harris” event with over 100,000 attendees. These events have played a crucial role in boosting the campaign’s funds and organizing efforts.
The Harris campaign has already seen significant success, outpacing Trump’s July fundraising with over $300 million and reversing poll standings dramatically. Celebrity endorsements from figures like Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion further highlight the campaign’s momentum, contrasting with the Trump campaign’s endorsements from less prominent celebrities like Amber Rose and Kid Rock.
