"60,000 White Men Supporting Harris Gathered... 5.5 Billion Won Raised"

The New York Times (NYT) reported on the 29th (local time) that a group called "White Dudes for Harris," supporting Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, who is challenging to become the first Black female president in U.S. history, has been launched. Sixty thousand white male voters participated online and raised 5.5 billion won.

Led by Democratic supporters, this group aims to prove that the common perception that white men support former President Donald Trump or that Trump represents the voice of white men is incorrect.

At the launch event, Jeff Bridges, who played the lead role of a white slacker in the Coen brothers' comedy film "The Big Lebowski," said, "I am white, a man, and I like Harris," adding, "I am very excited that a female president will be born."

Following this, Tim Walz, Governor of Minnesota, and Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, both mentioned as potential Democratic vice-presidential candidates in this election, also appeared and expressed support for Vice President Harris.

Roy Cooper, Governor of North Carolina, and J.B. Pritzker, Governor of Illinois, also attended the launch event.

The election funds raised during the 3-hour and 20-minute event amounted to 4 million dollars (approximately 5.536 billion won).
