With Kamala Harris out of the race, where do her celebrity donors go next?

Los Angeles Times

A few people — most of them “honchos” such as James L. Brooks, Rob Reiner, Jeffrey Katzenberg and Dana Walden — have already spread their money around to multiple candidates, including Sen. Cory Booker, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former VP Joe Biden and Sen. Amy Klobuchar. They could go any number of ways, so forget them for now.

But another group has given to Harris plus one, which could be a good indicator of their future intentions. The “plus one” names vary, of course.

Lisa Edelstein, Steven Spielberg and Scooter Braun are donors to Booker as well as Harris. Gloria Steinem, Kirsten Vangsness and Barbra Streisand split their money between Harris and Warren. Ryan Murphy, Jeff Shell, Anna Wintour and Carol Bayer Sager have all supported Mayor Pete Buttigieg of Indiana in addition to the California senator.

Bette Midler dropped some bucks on Marianne Williamson’s campaign, and Jackson Browne also gave to Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Peter Chernin gave to Biden.

But there are still a lot of wild cards who had Harris’ back and Harris’ back only: Shonda Rhimes, Mindy Kaling, Chris Rock, Demi Lovato, k.d. lang, Anthony Anderson, William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman, Alfre Woodard, Reese Witherspoon, Ben Affleck, Sean Penn and Michael Douglas are among those who are still up for grabs, to name but a few.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
