The stars are coming out for Kamala Harris at the DNC with a healthy dose of joy.
CHICAGO —
As a longtime movie buff with a soft spot for political dramas and comedies, I must say that Julia Louis-Dreyfus’s appearance at the Democratic National Convention was nothing short of inspiring. Her wit, charm, and undeniable talent for portraying complex characters like Selina Meyer on “Veep” made her the perfect choice to host a panel of eight women governors.
A significant queue stretched out on South Michigan Avenue in Chicago, as people eagerly awaited the chance to catch a glimpse of their preferred vice president during the Democratic National Convention.
Fictional vice president, that is.
On Wednesday, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, known for portraying Selina Meyer across seven seasons on HBO’s “Veep,” was a highly sought-after figure, as she moderated a discussion featuring eight female governors, an event organized by the Democratic Governors Association.
The group consisted of prominent Democratic governors such as Michigan’s Gretchen Whitmer, Arizona’s Katie Hobbs, Massachusetts’s Laura Healey, Maine’s Janet Mills (who was mentioned twice), New Mexico’s Michelle Lujan Grisham, Kansas’s Laura Kelly, and New York’s Kathy Hochul.
Louis-Dreyfus shared that in her introduction, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, who had been Trump’s running mate, characterized our group as a coven experiencing a synchronous menstrual phase.)
In simpler terms, the afternoon event at Venue Six10 was an excellent example of how this convention often strategically employs A-list celebrities from Hollywood. This tactic is characteristic of the event and could potentially help Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz secure the Democratic nomination for the 2024 U.S. Presidency.
According to Tammy Haddad, a former MSNBC political producer and advisor on “Veep,” it’s not so much about the big-screen Hollywood sensation, but more about the actors themselves being incredibly relatable.
“Tony Goldwyn, known for his captivating portrayal as the president in ‘Scandal’, remains active in political circles, as mentioned by Haddad, one of the convention’s celebrity hosts. Similarly, another ‘Scandal’ actress, Kerry Washington, is admired not only for her acting skills but also for her activism and online presence, making her a beloved figure among many.”
Regarding Louis Dreyfus, Haddad commented that “she infuses joy into every action,” a sentiment in line with the popular phrase of the Harris campaign.
Celebrities like Eva Longoria, an actor, have a lengthy background in Democratic politics. Although the Democratic National Committee (DNC) has been energized by the unexpected rise of Kamala Harris to the top of the ticket, Longoria, who is actively involved in fundraising for the party, told The Times that she had intended to attend regardless of whether President Biden remained the nominee.
After initially harboring doubts about Joe Biden’s political future, I found his subsequent return to the race surprisingly refreshing and ripe for comedic moments.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, renowned for her historic role as the funniest political TV character, skillfully incorporated vice presidential candidate Walz’s campaign messages during a panel discussion with female governors.
Referencing a query posed by a listener during her podcast, Louis-Dreyfus inquired the group, “What makes the Republican Party so unusual?”
On Wednesday, it’s clear that Walz’s influence will shine as singer John Legend pays homage to the late music legend Prince during their joint appearance at the DNC stage in the United Center, a place close to the heart of Minnesota’s own musical prodigy.
The speakers underscored their dedication to safeguarding reproductive freedoms, a stance that could likely motivate Democratic and unaffiliated female voters to cast their ballots following Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominations, which eventually resulted in the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
As a fan of the TV show ‘Veep’, I recall my character making a point about pregnancy and abortion, saying something like “If men could get pregnant, they could just pop into an ATM for an abortion.” Looking back, I still firmly believe in the essence of that statement. Speaking as a fellow human being, I think it’s fair to say that sentiment rings true.
