On July 10, A-list actor George Clooney asked a struggling Joe Biden to withdraw from the presidential race with Donald Trump and make way for a fresh face. But when news broke yesterday that the incumbent had dropped out and endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, a host of Hollywood luminaries from actors Robert De Niro to Jamie Lee Curtis expressed their immediate support for the switch.
Curtis, star of horror classics like “Halloween,” took to Instagram soon after the announcement to heartily endorse Harris — a former attorney general of California and US senator who has yet to be formally nominated by the Democratic Party.
“She is a fierce advocate for women’s rights and people of color and her message is one of HOPE and UNITY for America at her time of great national divide,” wrote Curtis in a post that had nearly 250,000 likes on Monday morning.
