More than 90,000 'White Dudes for Harris' sign up for call with potential VP picks

• "White Dudes for Harris," a mass Zoom fundraising and organizing call for Vice President Kamala Harris, will include remarks from four would-be running mates for the Democrat.
• Harris became the Democratic Party's de facto presidential nominee last week after President Joe Biden dropped out of the 2024 contest for the White House.
• Harris is set to face former President Donald Trump, the Republican nominee, in November's election.
• Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, governors Roy Cooper, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker and Josh Shapiro, as well as Sen. Mark Kelly, have been mentioned as potential running mates for Harris.

More than 90,000 people have signed up for Monday night's "White Dudes for Harris" Zoom fundraising and organizing rally, which will feature comments from several potential Democratic running mates for Vice President Kamala Harris.

That response is nine times the initial target of 10,000 sign-ups, which was set by organizers several days ago for the event. The call is the male version of a "White Women: Answer the Call" Zoom fundraising meeting that drew more than 160,000 women to support Harris last week.

"Ninety nine days from now we have an opportunity to help Kamala Harris make some history, we also have the opportunity to change some minds, to have some tough but fair conversations, to meet other white dudes where they are and to address some things that, well frankly, just haven't been addressed," the organizers of "White Dudes for Harris" said in a statement.

"We are honest, open, and ready to support our first black woman president,"

Among the scheduled speakers for the 8 p.m. ET Zoom event are U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz,
