Comedian Zach Galifianakis has expressed concern over the Democratic National Committee's reliance on celebrity endorsements, urging them to focus more on connecting with rural voters. Speaking during the Democratic National Convention, he noted that while celebrity support can be beneficial, it may not resonate with everyday voters who are struggling with economic issues. Galifianakis emphasized his roots as a small-town guy, stating, "Hollywood thinks it’s so important and that’s a problem." Despite the star-studded lineup at the convention, including performances by Pink and speeches from Oprah Winfrey, he warned that multi-millionaire endorsements could backfire. The campaign of Kamala Harris has heavily leaned on Hollywood for both promotional and fundraising efforts, raising questions about its effectiveness in reaching all demographics. As the election approaches, the disconnect between celebrity culture and rural America remains a point of contention for many.
