From Will Ferrell to Harrison Ford: Watch Every Kamala Harris Celebrity Campaign Ad

The EGOT-winning actress supported her storytelling with an ad titled “Mother,” which deals with the legacy of Harris’ late mother, Shyamala Gopalan. “Something cracks inside you when you become a mother,” Davis says in the video. “You realize that long after you are gone, these children will be your legacy. » Set to the theme of Beyoncé’s “Freedom,” which has become a rallying cry for the Harris campaign, Davis recounts Gopalan’s influence on Kamala and her sister Maya Harris, encouraging them to “stand up for others.” Davis concludes: “It is time for a new generation of leaders, optimistic and convinced of a better future for all Americans. »

The iconic comic is the latest celebrity to release an ad in Kamala Harris’ name. Standing alone in front of a white background and wearing a cute brown jacket, Ferrell appeals to undecided voters who are considering sitting out this election. “This election will be one of the closest in history. Your vote will make the difference,” Ferrell says, before the camera zooms in for a close-up. “That means you, Gary,” he continues. He goes on to imitate this reluctant imaginary voter. “’Oh blah blah blah. I’m only one person,” he moans. But Ferrell is having none of it: “No. Shut up, Gary.

Ferrell’s politics have been on display lately. He made a Netflix documentary called Will and Harper about a road trip he took with one of his best friends, former SNL writer Harper Steeleafter coming out as a trans woman. He also teamed up with Billy Eichner for a one-off relaunch of Billy on the street which presents the two comics as “Loud white men for Kamala.” In this new campaign ad, he goes on to point out that in the last election, just a few thousand votes kept Trump from stepping down. “This time we will hold you personally responsible, Gary.” Ferrell’s message is extremely clear: don’t be like Gary. Vote.
