Democratic 2020 hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) spent last month fundraising with the Hollywood elite, relying on the same donor network as failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
According to the Washington Examiner, Kamala Harris’ campaign is emulating Hillary Clinton’s in a variety of ways, especially when it comes to big money from Hollywood.

The Examiner also notes that Shonda Rhimes, the creator of hit TV dramas Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy and who co-chaired the Harris fundraiser, produced a video of Hillary Clinton for the 2016 DNC.
Breitbart News previously reported on Harris’ fundraising push in the entertainment industry.
Other 2020 hopefuls are hitting the Hollywood campaign trail, looking for help from elites as they all hope to be the Democratic nominee.
Amy Klobuchar reportedly spent time last month fundraising in Los Angeles, and even “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg, for all his small town charm, fundraised in Tinseltown last week.
Kamala Harris’ fundraising haul, an impressive $12 million, is still overshadowed by Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (D-VT) fundraising. The democratic socialist ran up an impressive $18.2 million in the first quarter of 2019. The average donation size to Sanders was $20.
As the New York Times reported Tuesday, Harris’s fundraising also largely comes from small donors, but also possibly has been funded by “hundreds” of large donors hitting the legal maximum.
In the 2018 midterm elections, Hollywood flexed their muscles in earnest, digging into their deep pockets to fund Democratic candidates and Democratic-supporting Super PACs.
Celebrity involvement in the midterm elections was reportedly “unprecedented,” with over 99 percent of their donations going to Democrats and Democratic causes.
