Many presidential candidates get cozy with Hollywood. But Kamala Harris, the presumptive Democratic nominee, is in a category all by herself where entertainment industry relationships are concerned. 

From her friendships with power players like Disney’s Dana Walden and CAA’s Bryan Lourd, to her connections to a network of Black creatives like Beyoncé, Octavia Spencer and producer Reggie Hudlin and his wife Chrisette, to common cause with advocates for LGBTQ rights and climate protection, Harris is practically without peer in being able to mobilize an army of cultural influence to propel forward her historic bid for the presidency.

That army has wasted no time moving into gear.
