Hollywood is lining up behind Kamala Harris

• Many of the biggest stars in entertainment are now publicly supporting Kamala Harris.
• Charli XCX's endorsement quickly became iconic, as Harris has incorporated it into her marketing.
• George Clooney is among the the prominent voices backing Harris that had said Biden should bow out.

After slinking away from Joe Biden in the final weeks of his campaign, many of the biggest stars in entertainment are throwing their support behind Kamala Harris. Like many billionaires and big donors who had soured on the president, stars seem invigorated by the prospect of a Harris campaign, coconut memes and all.

Here are some of the biggest Hollywood names publicly endorsing Harris.

George Clooney

After publishing an opinion piece calling on Biden to step aside earlier this month, the actor and Democratic donor endorsed Harris while speaking on CNN on Tuesday.

"President Biden has shown what true leadership is," Clooney said. "He's saving democracy once again. We're all so excited to do whatever we can to support Vice President Harris in her historic quest."

Barbra Streisand

The American singer and actress expressed gratitude for Biden and support for Harris in a statement to the New York Times . Streisand emphasized that Harris "will work to restore women's reproductive freedom" and build on her accomplishments as Vice President.

Aaron Sorkin

Sorkin, who created the political drama "West Wing," originally argued that Democrats should nominate a Republican in Biden's stead, but has since changed his tune. After Biden announced that he was ending his reelection bid, Sorkin posted a message on X via a friend's account.

"I take it all back. Harris for America!"

Spike Lee

Lee kept his endorsement short, sweet, and full of emojis. On Sunday, he posted a picture of Harris on Instagram with a caption full of purple hearts, fire symbols, and clapping hands.

"ONCE AGAIN A SISTA COMES TO DA RESCUE," he wrote.

Jamie Lee Curtis

Curtis reposted an image from Joe Biden's Instagram account in her endorsement. She highlighted specific groups of voters in her caption, writing, "Women. Minorities. LGBTQ+IA. We still have a CHOICE with Kamala Harris. TRUSTED. TESTED. TOUGH."

Charli XCX

Charli XCX, the British singer-songwriter, has come out with the most iconic endorsement — or evident endorsement — of Harris yet.

"kamala IS brat," she posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, in a reference to her recent album.

Harris' team has wasted no time capitalizing on the Gen Z approval, with her social media accounts using Charli XCX songs in videos and embracing the signature brat lime green.

Mark Hamill

The man most famous for playing Luke Skywalker is also a well-known Biden supporter — and, now, Harris supporter. On Monday, Hamill posted a picture of himself with Harris on X and called her "the candidate who will both honor & further" Biden's legacy.

Under the photo, he coined a new, alliterative hashtag: #HamillHeartsHarris

John Legend

In social media posts on Sunday, Legend praised Biden's record and endorsed Harris, saying, "I'm excited to help her in any way I can."

Legend has long supported Democrats, as he performed at the Democratic National Convention in 2020.

Rosie O'Donnell

O'Donnell, who has sparred with Donald Trump throughout his political career, voiced her support for Harris on Instagram. She posted a picture of Biden's letter announcing the end of his campaign and thanked him in her caption. O'Donnell offered her endorsement by way of hashtag, writing, "#vote #harris #energize."
