Kamala Harris Is Calling Upon the Avengers in the New Biden Fundraising Campaign
The Biden-Harris presidential campaign is calling upon Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson, Mark Ruffalo, Don Cheadle, Zoe Saldana, Paul Rudd, and the Russo Brothers for a virtual fundraising event.
The event will be a Q&A style video call between the Marvel stars and Kamala Harris while they ask her about policies. Of course, trivia will be thrown in as Harris is a big Marvel fan herself; we’ll see if she can hold up against these legends.
As a huge Avengers and Black Panther fan, I could not be more excited for our grassroots fundraiser tomorrow with @doncheadle, @chrisevans, @markruffalo, @zoesaldana, the @Russo_Brothers, Scarlett Johansson, and Paul Rudd.

For Marvel fans, this event marks one of the first times we have seen all of these celebrities on one screen since Avengers: Endgame. The panel will include Captain America (Evans), Black Widow (Johansson), Hulk (Ruffalo), War Machine (Cheadle), Gamora (Saldana), and everyone’s favorite Ant-Man (Rudd). This list is not complete without the geniuses behind the camera, Joe and Anthony Russo who directed Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity Wars, and Avengers: Endgame.

This year has been a record-setting year for the Democratic campaign as they earned $364 million just through August 2020 alone. What makes this number even more astronomical is that fact it was made through grassroots efforts; meaning they were made by a regular citizen rather than a giant donor organization or wealthy individual. At one point, the average donation size was $19.08, as in the year 1908 when Harris’s sorority Alpha Kappa Alpha was founded, as her sisters showed their support.
“Soon, it became clear that the donations were a tribute to Harris (Calif.) from fellow members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, a Black women’s organization founded in 1908.”https://t.co/yIKHU9qGSq
Depending on your cultural competency, this would have been immediately clear.

According to the Los Angeles Times, “in the quarter that closed Sept. 30, Biden raised $383 million — $125 million more than Trump.”
NEW: The Biden campaign says it raised $383 million in September along with the DNC and joint fundraising efforts — a new record-breaking one-month sum, topping its August record of $364.5 million.https://t.co/NtRMobgKby

It’s possible this event can certainly boost the Biden-Harris campaign and it will definitely be trending on Twitter for whatever type of fun and chaos ensues.
