The Democratic National Convention is leveraging the party&#8217;s celebrity influence by featuring various stars to participate and lead events during the week. Actor Tony Goldwyn, commentator Ana Navarro, actress Mindy Kaling, and actress Kerry Washington will each host different evenings of the convention, as reported by CNN. Their roles will resemble those of an awards show, where they will deliver opening remarks and return to the stage at various times. Washington, who runs her own political nonprofit organization, is set to introduce Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday when she accepts the Democratic nomination. Kaling previously supported Harris during her unsuccessful 2020 primary campaign by including her in a cooking video where they prepared an Indian dish while discussing Harris&#8217;s Indian heritage. Although Navarro identifies as a Republican\u2014having become one after President Ronald Reagan backed the controversial Contras in Nicaragua\u2014she has endorsed nearly all Democrats and their positions since Donald Trump entered politics. She has expressed strong support for issues like gun control, LGBT rights, critical race theory education, children&#8217;s drag performances, and abortion rights. Goldwyn comes from a film industry lineage as Samuel Goldwyn&#8217;s grandson and has been a long-time supporter of Democrats. Hollywood generally leans leftward which gives the DNC an advantage over the Republican National Convention regarding star power; however, RNC also featured notable celebrities such as wrestling icon Hulk Hogan and singer Kid Rock among others. Despite being hosted by celebrities, the convention will still prioritize political figures like President Joe Biden and former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton along with former First Lady Michelle Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2653,"featured_media":2326796,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/kamala-harris-celebrities.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[5344,3685,7705,32438,35078],"class_list":["post-2326795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-celebrities","tag-democrats","tag-dnc","tag-kamala-harris","tag-political-events"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/kamala-harris-celebrities.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2326795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2326795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2326796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2326795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2326795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2326795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
