Kamala Harris Courts Hollywood’s Elite While Ignoring Real American Struggles, as Trump Builds Momentum in Key Swing States

Rebeeca Pervez

As the nation grapples with the highest inflation rates in decades, skyrocketing gas and grocery prices, open borders, and rising crime, Kamala Harris has found solace in Hollywood’s glitzy circles rather than addressing the struggles of working Americans. In the final days of her campaign, Harris has doubled down on her reliance on out-of-touch celebrities and billionaire donors to rally support. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump is connecting with voters across swing states, showing he is in touch with the values and concerns that affect Americans daily.



Harris’s Hollywood-heavy strategy highlights a striking disconnect with everyday Americans. Just this weekend, Harris ditched a planned appearance in Michigan—a critical battleground state—to appear alongside comedian Maya Rudolph on NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Her decision to prioritize Hollywood appearances over real-world issues has raised concerns about her commitment to tackling the serious problems facing the country.


Harris’s campaign is unmistakably marked by her deep ties to Hollywood elites. While millions of Americans dig deeper into their pockets to afford basic necessities, Harris has surrounded herself with the same celebrity culture that was widely seen as alienating voters during Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Despite reportedly wanting to avoid the Hollywood connection early on, Harris’s campaign has resorted to a full-throttle blitz of A-list endorsements as Election Day nears, banking on Hollywood glitz instead of engaging with the working class.


For many Americans, this tone-deaf approach strikes a painful chord. When Hurricane Helene devastated parts of North Carolina, Harris was notably absent from disaster relief efforts. Instead, she chose to attend a lavish Los Angeles fundraiser with Hollywood executives and wealthy donors. It’s a sharp contrast to Trump, whose campaign rallies bring him face-to-face with the concerns of everyday Americans, especially in regions hardest hit by inflation and crime.


Harris’s alignment with Hollywood elites has kept her at a distance from pressing issues affecting everyday Americans. Inflation is eroding purchasing power, especially for working families who are now making impossible choices at the grocery store and gas pump. Rising crime rates, particularly in urban areas, have left communities feeling unsafe. And on immigration, Harris’s lax approach has only fueled concerns about border security, as record numbers of undocumented individuals continue to enter the country, overwhelming resources and straining local economies.


Former President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has directly addressed these issues with a bold policy-driven vision. He has promised to bring down inflation by cutting reckless government spending, unleashing America’s energy resources to lower gas prices, and restoring law and order. Trump’s clear solutions stand in sharp contrast to Harris’s celebrity-filled campaign events, which seem more focused on style than substance.


While Harris courts the favor of Hollywood’s elite, Trump has spent his time crisscrossing swing states, speaking directly to the people and listening to their concerns. His focus on economic recovery, border security, and reducing crime has struck a chord with Americans tired of feeling abandoned by career politicians. Trump’s momentum is building as his rallies draw record crowds, highlighting a deep resonance with voters that Harris’s campaign, no matter how star-studded, cannot replicate.


Harris’s strategy of using Hollywood celebrities to appeal to voters is a risky one, especially considering how the tactic backfired in 2016. Americans want leaders who understand the real struggles they face, not politicians who prioritize A-list endorsements over policy solutions. Trump’s proven record of economic growth, his stance on law and order, and his commitment to securing America’s borders speak directly to the heartland’s concerns and show that he stands with the American people.


In this election, the choice couldn’t be clearer. Americans can opt for Harris’s elitist, out-of-touch approach that relies on Hollywood glitter rather than real solutions, or they can choose Donald Trump—a leader who understands their struggles, shares their values, and will prioritize the policies that make America prosperous and secure.


Harris’s Hollywood campaign tactics only serve to reinforce what many Americans have long believed: She’s not in it for them, but for her own elite circle. As Election Day approaches, Trump’s message of genuine American values, real solutions, and unwavering patriotism is resonating louder than ever across the country.
