White dudes, Swifties and nerds: Pro-Harris groups build unity out of identity

The Hill – Judy Kurtz
From geeks to headbangers, and from white dudes to Swifties, a wide array of grassroots groups are sharing a common goal: electing Vice President Harris.
Since President Biden exited the White House race and endorsed Harris less than two months ago, oodles of demographic-based groups have popped up with the aim of mobilizing voters and raising mountains of campaign cash.
Many organizers credit the “Win With Black Women” call for getting the ball rolling and igniting the virtual fundraiser trend. The July event drew more than 40,000 participants.
Since then, countless other calls have been organized from a dizzying number of groups, including “White Dudes for Harris,” “Cat Ladies for Kamala” and “Comics for Harris.”
